New Zealand’s Corey Anderson clubbed the fastest century in the history of one-day international cricket off 36 balls as the hosts reached 283-4 from only 21 overs in rain-shortened third ODI against the West Indies.
The young all-rounder hit 12 sixes and four fours in his 100, beating, by one delivery, the 37-ball record of Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi against Sri Lanka which has stood for almost 18 years. Anderson finished on 131 not out from 47 balls, as New Zealand scored at an extraordinary rate of 13 runs per over. Anderson reached 50 from only 30 balls, with two fours and six sixes. He slammed four consecutive sixes off Sunil Narine and then did it again, off Ravi Rampaul, whose three overs fetched 64 runs. Ryder reached his century from 46 balls and was out five balls from the end of the New Zealand innings for 104, which included five sixes and 12 fours.
