Josh Inglis' Ton Vs Scotland: Josh Inglis enters history books on Friday, as the Australian wicketkeeper batsman betters his previous record by smashing the fastest ever T20I ton by an Australian, and he achieved the feat against Scotland during Australia Vs Scotland 2nd T20I.

The 29-year-old took just 43 balls to reach his century, and with that, he breaks the previous record, which was held by three Australians: Josh Inglis; Aaron Finch; and Glenn Maxwell, as all the three players scored their ton inside 47 balls, with Josh Inglis achieving the feat against India (2023), Aaron Finch against England (2013), and Glenn Maxwell against India (2023).

His innings was enough to power Australia beyond 190, as they finished at 196/4 in their 20 overs and a brilliant 4-wicket haul from all-rounder Marcus Stoinis helped the Ausses bundle out the hosts for 126, and with that, they registered a 70-run victory.

With the win, Australia have wrapped up the series 2-0 and it will be a brilliant learning curve for Scotland, as this was the first-ever bilateral series in any format between the nations.
