Sponsors Johnnie Walker stump up $1m for charity as Gibbs lashes six sixes
The charity Habitat for Humanity (HFH) was the real winner in the ICC's Cricket World Cup match between South Africa and the Netherlands.
HFH, a non-denominational Christian charity dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide, is benefitting to the tune of $1 million (about £515,000) following the
hitting of six sixes in one over by South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs. The feat triggered a payment by drinks company Johnnie Walker, sponsors of a "six sixes" competition which had been set up in advance of the tournament.
Since its founding in 1976, Habitat for Humanity has become a global leader in addressing substandard housing, helping more than a million people to have a decent place to live and having built or renovated more than 200,000 homes throughout the world.
