Tim David‘s blitzkrieg against the West Indies will go down in Australian cricket legend. Tim David broke the record for the fastest T20I century by an Australian and expertly destroyed the hosts’ bowling attack. Aside from giving Australia a six-wicket victory, his undefeated 102 off just 37 balls served as a harsh reminder of reality to the West Indies team, who had appeared to be in control earlier in the innings.

Akeal Hosein: Despite his reputation for restraint, Akeal Hosein was unable to stop David’s momentum in 11th over, smashing 2 huge sixes and 1 four in 11th over that ended up becoming the fastest fifty by an Australian in Twenty20 Internationals at just 16 balls.
Roston Chase: Tim David resumed his attack with relentless vigour, and the off-spinner was the last of the three to fall, his variations showing no effect. Tim David hit him for 3 sixes and a four in 12th over
Gudakesh Motie: Setting the tone for the carnage, the left-arm spinner was the first to be destroyed, giving up four straight sixes in 10th over.
