DAVID MILLER SMASHES FASTEST EVER T20I HUNDRED

South Africa middle-order batsman David Miller smashed the record for the fastest century in Twenty20 International cricket as South Africa thumped Bangladesh by 83 runs yesterday for a clean sweep of the two-match series. Miller hammered the fastest century in T20 internationals - he reached 100 off 35 balls to smash the record by 10 balls - to propel South Africa to 224-4 batting first. Five of those sixes came in one over off Bangladesh seamer Mohammad Saifuddin as Miller beat the previous quickest mark to a century of 45 balls by compatriot Richard Levi against New Zealand in 2012. He had only scored 18 runs off 14 balls, then came an assault which yielded 82 runs off 21 balls to get to his century. “Once I hit one or two I decided to keep going,” he said. He just missed out on becoming only the third batsman to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket. The only players to hit six sixes in an over in an international are South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs and India's Yuvraj Singh. “It’s a really special feeling,” Miller told SuperSport. “I tried to watch the ball and back myself. I was scratchy to be honest in the beginning and towards the back end it turned out to be sweet.” Miller was only the fourth South African to hit a century in 100 T20 internationals. South Africa whitewashed the Test, ODI and T20I series against Bangladesh.
