NZ vs ENG, 4th T20I: Morgan's Fastest Fifty, Malan's Fastest Ton Power England To Highest Total

While Morgan registered the fastest fifty for England in the shortest format, David Malan slammed the fastest hundred as an English batsman

Skipper Eoin Morgan on Friday registered the fastest fifty for England in the T20I format. He achieved the feat in the side's ongoing T20I match against New Zealand in Napier. At the same time, Dawid Malan also created the record for scoring the fastest hundred as an English batsman. The duo stitched the highest T20I stand for the third wicket by any pair. The 182-run stand in 74 deliveries cruised the visitors to post a gigantic 241/3 on the board which is also their highest total ever in the shortest format of the game. Morgan scored his 50th run on his 21st ball and he surpassed wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler to break the record. The latter had scored 50 off 22 balls against Australia at Birmingham in 2018. Morgan’s batting partner Malan notched up the three-figure mark in just 48 deliveries with the help of nine boundaries and six maximums. Alex Hales held the previous record, scoring a ton from 60 deliveries. Malan is also the second English batsman to hit a T20I century. Earlier in the match, New Zealand won the toss and elected to field first. England lost its first two wickets with 58 runs on the board. Tom Banton scored 31 runs while Jonny Bairstow was dismissed after registering just 8 runs. However, after the dismissals of the openers, Morgan and Malan got together at the crease and wreaked havoc on the Kiwi bowling attack. Currently, New Zealand is the leading the five-match series 2-1. England had won the first T20I at Christchurch but the Kiwis managed to bounce back in the next two games of the series.
