Tim David has blasted Australia’s fastest T20I hundred from 37 balls as the tourists chased down a 215-run target with six wickets in hand to seal a series-winning victory over the West Indies in St Kitts.
The middle-order powerhouse smashed 11 sixes and six boundaries to reach a century off 37 balls, while Mitch Owen joined David for an unbroken 128-run stand to guide Australia home.
David etched his name in the record books with a brutal hitting display as he first posted Australia’s quickest T20 fifty from 16 balls, then hit a boundary to both reach 102 not out and seal the win with 23 balls remaining.
Shai Hope had earlier helped lift the West Indies to 214-4 with his maiden T20 century after setting up the competitive total with Brandon King in a 125-run opening stand.
Australia slumped to 87 for 4 in the ninth over of the chase before David’s fireworks quickly took the game away from the hosts.
