Stats: Fastest centuries in T20I cricket

On Saturday, July 26, Australian middle-order batter Tim David created an Australian record after scoring a 37-ball T20I ton in the third T20I of the ongoing five-match series against West Indies at Warner Park, Basseterre in St Kitts.

Shifting our focus to the details of the game, West Indies posted a daunting total of 214/4 in 20 overs, thanks to the opening batter Shai Hope's 102-run unbeaten knock off 57 balls with eight fours and six sixes.

In the chase, Australia looked in complete trouble at 87/4 in 8.5 overs with only a few batters left in the hut. Nevertheless, Tim David turned things upside down with a 37-ball 102-run unbeaten knock as Australia finished off the game in 16.1 overs with six wickets in hand. 

It’s important to note that David’s century knock witnessed a total of six fours and 11 big sixes at a humongous strike rate of 275.68 as Australia sealed the series 3-0 with two more games to go in the series.

During his important stay at the crease, David took only 16 balls to reach his fifty, bettering the joint-Australian record held by Marcus Stonis and Travis Head, who reached fifties in 17 balls. Also, David took only 37 balls to reach his century, breaking Josh Inglis’ record of a 43-ball century against Scotland in Edinburgh in 2024.
