South African all‑rounder Lhuan‑dre Pretorius smashed the world record for the fastest T20 score, eclipsing Brian Gayle’s benchmark.
In a blistering display, Pretorius reached his half‑century in just 24 balls. He then needed only 16 more deliveries to hit 100, and finished with a 150‑run haul after an additional 18 balls.
The 150 runs were scored in 58 balls, a pace that outstrips the previous record held by Gayle. Pretorius’ rapid-fire innings set a new benchmark for speed and power in the shortest format of the game.
While the match details remain limited, the achievement underscores Pretorius’ explosive batting prowess and marks a significant moment in T20 cricket history.
