Bevon Jacobs Equals New Zealand T20 Record With Fifth Straight Fifty

The run underscores his selection for India T20Is despite a World Cup snub.

Overview

  • On January 12 in Dunedin, he hit 78 off 51 with seven fours and five sixes, sharing an 87-run stand with Mark Chapman as Auckland chased 160 with eight balls to spare.
  • He leads the Super Smash with 328 runs from five innings at an average of 109.33 and a strike rate of 173.54.
  • He has been picked for New Zealand’s five-match T20I series in India starting January 21 but was left out of the T20 World Cup squad for India and Sri Lanka.
  • His sequence of scores reads 55, 54, 53, 88* and 78*, matching Devon Conway’s national mark and trailing only Riyan Parag (seven) and Sediqullah Atal (six) worldwide.
  • His franchise prospects remain unsettled after a 2025 stint with Mumbai Indians without a debut and going unsold at the 2026 IPL auction.
