Scoring a 50 could be a significant achievement for any player in T20Is, but scoring the same in the world cup makes it even more special
Marcus Stoinis yesterday became the fastest Australian batsman to score a half-century in T20Is. He scored 50 off 17 balls to help his team win the much-needed match against Sri Lanka in the ongoing T20 World Cup
Stoinis now shares the record of scoring the second-fastest 50 in T20 World Cups with Ireland cricketer Stephan Myburgh, who achieved the feat against the Netherlands during the 2014 World Cup
Yuvraj’s 50 off 12 balls
