Fifty was made on 30 balls
Asif Khan did not start his innings fast. He scored only 23 runs in the first 24 balls. But after this the bowlers broke down. Hit 4 sixes in the next 6 balls and completed Fifty in 30 balls. After that he became more dangerous. On the next 11 balls, Asif completed his century with the help of 7 sixes. In this he also hit 4 sixes in 4 consecutive balls against Sandeep Lamichhane.
Fourth fastest century in ODIs
This is the fourth fastest century in ODI cricket. AB de Villiers of South Africa holds the record for the fastest century. He scored a century against the West Indies in just 31 balls. If Asif had scored quickly in the beginning, AB de Villiers’ record would have been broken. New Zealand’s Corey Anderson scored 36 and Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi scored a faster century than Amir in 37 balls.
