T20 WC: England Becomes First Team To Enter Semis
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Two-time former champions England became the first team to reach the semifinals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup after captain Harry Brook scored a historic century, beating Pakistan by two wickets in a Super 8 stage match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Tuesday.
Brook made history by becoming the first captain to score a hundred in a men’s T20 World Cup match. His impressive 100 off 51 balls included 10 fours and four sixes, helping England chase down Pakistan’s total of 164 for 9 with little time to spare.
He reached the 50-ball milestone with a boundary off Shaheen Shah Afridi. Brook is only the third England batter to achieve a T20 World Cup century, following Alex Hales and Jos Buttler. Additionally, this was the first century by an England captain in men’s T20Is, breaking the previous highest score by a skipper in a T20 World Cup, which was 98 by Chris Gayle in 2010.
