Miller smashes fastest ever IT20 century

30 Oct 2017 | Cricket
Former Glamorgan overseas T20 signing David Miller struck a record-breaking century yesterday as South Africa beat Bangladesh by 83 runs in the second Twenty20 international in Potchefstroom.

Miller registered the fastest ton in IT20 history, with the 28-year-old reaching his 100 off 35 balls. 

The previous fastest T20 international century was made off 45 balls by fellow South African Richard Levi against New Zealand in Hamilton in 2012.

He ended up 101 not out off 36 balls, hitting seven fours and nine sixes, including five off successive balls from Mohammad Saifuddin.

The big hitting left-hander shared a 79-run fourth-wicket partnership off 41 balls with Hashim Amla, who made 85 off 51 balls with 11 fours and a six.

Bangladesh struggled to chase South Africa's 224 and were all out for 141.

Glamorgan signed David Miller for a six-match stint in this season's T20 Blast tournament.

He made an immediate impact at the Club, striking a half-century in his first innings against Gloucestershire in Bristol as he helped Glamorgan top the south group.

Despite leaving to play for South Africa A before the close of the group stages, Miller returned for the quarter-final victory against Leicestershire Foxes, making a 6,000-mile dash to Wales, by helicopter, plane and car.

He then played in Finals Day where Glamorgan were narrowly defeated by Birmingham Bears in the first semi-final.
