Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Brendon McCullum blasted the highest ever individual score in Twenty20 internationals as New Zealand eased to a 59-run victory over Bangladesh in the opening match of Group D.
The opener hammered a 58-ball 123 to become the first player to score two centuries in Twenty20 internationals as New Zealand posted an intimidating 191 for 3 wickets.
McCullum's knock included seven sixes and 11 fours as he bettered the record of South African opener Richard Levi whose unbeaten 117 earlier this year against New Zealand was the highest individual score in this format.
Bangladesh simply crumbled under the run mountain and managed 132 for 8 wickets, largely because of Nasir Hossain's gritty 50.
Seamers Tim Southee and Kyle Mills took three wickets apiece for the Black Caps who next face Pakistan tomorrow, two days before Bangladesh play the same team.
