On 29 October 2022, New Zealand took on Sri Lanka in Sydney in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup. Sri Lanka failed to win against Australia in the last game. On the other hand, the Kiwis were also looking for another win. So, the stage was set for a great battle between the sides at the SCG.
However, Kane Williamson won the toss and choose to bat first. Speaking of the match, Sri Lankan bowlers had a great start as they took early wickets of the Kiwis. Meanwhile, Glenn Phillips managed to score a hundred in the match. But, a video went viral where the Kiwi batter came up with a unique process to avoid run-out at the non-striker end.
Here is the shared video:

Glenn Phillips scored 104 runs off 64 balls against Sri Lanka in the 20-20 World Cup 2022
Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the last over of their innings. Glenn Phillips was at the non-striker end while Mitchell Santner was batting on the other end. Lahiru Kumara was bowling for Sri Lanka. But, during that over, Phillips was seen with an innovative stance before starting to run between the wickets.
It seemed that he wanted to avoid any chase of getting run out at the non-striker end. In recent times, this made headlines when Deepti Sharma ran out Charlotte Deam in an ODI game. After that, controversy happened and many players shared their opinions regarding that incident.
Speaking about New Zealand’s innings, they were struggling to score in the first six overs. They managed only 54 runs for three wickets in 10 overs. But, Glenn Phillips batted brilliantly and scored another hundred in this ongoing tournament. He scored 104 runs off 64 balls against the current Asia Cup champions. Phillips hit 10 fours and four sixes throughout his innings. For Sri Lanka, Kasun Rajitha took two wickets for 23 runs in his four overs. But, they had a bad start to the chase as Sri Lanka have scored only six runs in three overs by losing three wickets so far.
