Martin Guptill - Most Runs in a 3 Match ODI Series

Martin Guptill had a phenomenal ODI series against England in England where the final edition of the ICC Champions Trophy is to be hosted. In the first ODI, he scored an unbeaten century in the second innings and produced a win for his team. In the second ODI, he scored a mammoth 189* in the first innings, which made many new records. And hence NZ became the first team since Australia (6-1) in 2009 to win an ODI series vs Eng in England.



Guptill finished the series with 330 runs in 3 matches at an average of 330.00. He overcame Brendon Taylor's 310 runs in 3 matches vs NZ in 2011 as the Highest Run scorer in a 3 match ODI series.
