Stephen Myburgh vs IRE in 2014
Stephen Myburgh was the star of the Netherland’s extraordinary batting run-chase against Ireland in 2014 T20 World Cup. The left-hander hit 63 off 23 balls with seven sixes in his innings and brought up his fifty in just 17 balls, which is the joint second fastest in T20 World Cups. His blistering knock helped Netherlands record one of the best victories in the tournament’s history.
Marcus Stoinis vs SL in 2022
Marcus Stoinis was the latest entrant to the list as the Australian stunned the Sri Lankan bowlers with a brutal assault in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 stages. The right-hander hit six sixes and four fours in his unbeaten 59-run knock off just 18 balls and brought up his fifty in just 17 balls. The innings helped Australia get over the line against Sri Lanka comfortably and it is also the fastest half-century by an Australian batter.
Yuvraj Singh vs ENG in 2007
Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes against England in the maiden edition in 2007 will always be etched in the memories of the Indian fans. The left-hander after a heated argument with Andrew Flintoff took on Stuart Broad in the 19th over, and smashed it to all parts of the Kingsmead ground in Durban. He reached his half century in just 12 balls and the record remains the fastest fifty in Men’s T20 World Cup history.
