Prithvi Shaw slams double cenutury for Northamptonshire in England's One-Day Cup

Prithvi Shaw returned to form in style while blitzing to a mammoth 153-ball 244 runs knock for Northamptonshire against Somerset in England’s One-Day Cup tournament on Wednesday.

Shaw, 23, playing his maiden county season in England, struck 28 boundaries and 11 sixes enroute to his second List A double century. It took his tally of centuries in List A cricket to nine, and only the first since scoring 165 runs against Karnataka in the Vijay Hazare Trophy semi-final, when he led Mumbai to the title in 2020-21.

Playing his third match for Northamptonshire, Shaw reached his maiden ton in 81 balls. He then brought up the double century from 129 balls – taking 48 balls for the second ton – to power his side to 415/8. In reply, Somerset folded for 328 runs, despite a battling knock of 77 runs from Andy Umeed, to see out a 87-run win.

The 6th highest individual score in List A history.

Prithvi Shaw, take a bow.
