In a recent One-Day Cup match, Prithvi Shaw showcased his batting prowess once again, guiding Northamptonshire to a six-wicket triumph over Durham. After his remarkable 244-run performance in the previous game, Shaw continued his impressive form by scoring yet another century. This time, he remained unbeaten with a score of 125 runs from just 76 balls, featuring 15 fours and seven sixes.

Northamptonshire's Chase:

Facing a target of 198 runs set by Durham, Northamptonshire managed to chase it down effortlessly in only 25.4 overs, largely due to Shaw's aggressive innings. He received support from Rob Keogh, who contributed with a quick 42 runs off 40 balls.

Pacer Luke Procter played a crucial role for Northamptonshire, taking four wickets for 34 runs from nine overs. His efforts, along with the team's collective performance, restricted Durham to a total of 198 runs in 43.2 overs.

Consistent Performances:

Shaw's recent successes follow his exceptional innings of 244 runs from 153 balls in a previous match. During that game, he displayed his remarkable striking abilities, hitting 28 boundaries and 11 sixes. Northamptonshire emerged victorious against Somerset by a margin of 87 runs in that encounter.

Looking Ahead:

The Mumbai batsman, Shaw, has been striving to reclaim his position in the Indian national team. His last appearance for India was in a T20I match against Sri Lanka in 2021. Although he participated in the season-opening Duleep Trophy for West Zone last month, he failed to leave a significant impact.

Prithvi Shaw's consistent performances and explosive batting style continue to make waves, positioning him as a potential asset for future opportunities in international cricket.
