SA vs WI: All records of T20 cricket destroyed, 35 sixes in one match, 2 centuries, 517 runs

Cricket is a game of uncertainties. Here no record remains permanent and nothing is impossible. We also saw the latest example in the T20 match between West Indies and South Africa. Batting first, West Indies had set a challenging target of 259 runs against South Africa. But the South African batsmen achieved this target easily. However, this target is not that easy in the book of cricket. But the South African batsmen proved this target to be a dwarf by creating a tremendous blast with their game. This match between South Africa and West Indies was played in Centurion. The pitch was very conducive for batting. West Indies batsmen also took advantage of this and scored a huge score of 258 runs. That too at the loss of 5 wickets.

West Indies batsman Johnson Charles played a blistering inning of 118 runs in just 46 balls. This included 11 sixes and 10 fours. Charles completed his century in just 39 balls. If we look at the records, this is the fastest century by a West Indies player in T20 cricket. After setting such a big target, the West Indies team hardly thought that they might have to face defeat in this match. But the South African team, which came out to chase the target, was seen in its rhythm from the beginning. South African openers and experienced batsmen Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks scored 102 runs in the powerplay itself with a bang. Dickock had scored his half-century in just 15 balls. Quinton de Kock completed his century in 45 balls with the help of 9 fours and 8 sixes. He was dismissed for 100 when South Africa were 152 for 1 in 10.5 overs.

Despite this, South Africa continued to dominate the match. The rest of the batsmen gave the team victory by batting brilliantly. Reeza Hendricks played an inning of 68 runs in 28 balls. The contribution of captain Ajen Markram is also excellent, who scored 38 runs in 21 balls. A total of 570 runs were scored in this match. This is the highest in any T20 match. In this, 22 sixes were taken from West Indies while 13 sixes were taken from South Africa. Let us tell you that after watching yesterday’s match, once again the fans would have remembered the story of March 2006. Even at that time, the South African team had achieved this by proving Australia’s mountain-like target of 434 runs dwarf.
