New Zealand fastest T20I ton: Glenn Phillips dazzles with record-breaking century

Glenn Phillips arrived to the crease with New Zealand’s score reading at 53-2 after 6.2 overs. The right-handed batsman then formed a 184-run explosive stand with Devon Conway, who himself packed 65 runs from just 37 deliveries. The partnership between the two cricketers became the highest-ever T20I stand for any pair in New Zealand.

By bringing up his century off his 46th delivery, Glenn Phillips now holds the record of scoring the fastest ever T20I ton by any New Zealand batsman. He bettered the record of Black Caps veteran Colin Munro, who brought up his century in 47 balls against the same opponent at the same venue about three New Zealand summers ago.
