Mayes Smashes Record in U-19 World Cup Thriller

In a standout performance at the Under-19 World Cup in Harare, Ben Mayes etched his name in the record books.

Mayes, an 18-year-old from Hampshire, struck a phenomenal 191 runs against Scotland. This score stands as the highest individual total by an England player in the history of the U-19 World Cup. He narrowly missed the tournament's overall record of 192, set just four days earlier.

His blistering 117-ball innings featured 18 fours and eight sixes. He found a strong partner in Joe Moores, nephew of former England coach Peter, who contributed 81 runs off 65 balls. Their formidable second-wicket partnership of 188 runs was crucial in setting a commanding total.
