T20 WC: Finn Allen’s Whirlwind 33-ball Century Helps New Zealand Storm Into Final
Chasing 170, Allen tore into the in-form South African attack by hitting ten boundaries and eight towering sixes and rewrite the record books with the fastest century ever scored in the men’s T20 World Cup and the first in a knockout fixture. It was also his third century in T20Is and the joint-fastest hundred by a full member batter, as he again highlighted his reputation as one of the most destructive openers in the shortest format.
Allen’s fireworks, where he played only four dot balls, were complemented by Tim Seifert, who struck a brisk 58 off 33 deliveries. The pair stitched a 117-run opening stand that effectively ended South Africa’s hopes of defending their total of 169/8. New Zealand’s commanding chase is also their first-ever win over South Africa in the T20 World Cup and sent out a strong message ahead of Sunday’s final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
