It’s not often that a batsman hitting 63 from 25 balls in a modest T20 chase will be outshone, but a rapid Guptill was made to look almost pedestrian by Munro.
Chasing 143 for victory, the Black Caps needed just 10 overs to reach their target and secure a 2-0 series triumph
The first delivery of Broad's final over was swung over midwicket for a
massive six and the ball landed outside the stadium. The second ball was
flicked behind square for six more. On the third ball, Yuvraj backed
away and carved the ball over the covers. By now, the fans were going
berserk. An ashen-faced Broad changed his angle to around the stumps,
but erred in length. A full toss outside the off stump was slashed over
backward point. Four balls, four sixes. The crowd now knew something
special was happening.
Back over the stumps went Broad, but Yuvraj was ready. On bent knee, he heaved the ball over midwicket for his fifth six. Ravi Shastri, one of four batsmen to have hit six sixes in an over, was commentating at the time and was in raptures.

Stuart Broad trundled in, delivered a half-volley and turned his head as Yuvraj
smashed the ball over midwicket to make it six sixes off the over.
Yuvraj's team-mates went mad in celebrating a 12-ball half-century, the
fastest in T20Is.
Yuvraj Singh finally got our for 58 Runs(16 Balls 4x3 and 6x7)
