The 28-year-old finished the innings with a score of 132 from just 62 balls. 

In just his third T20I outing, the right-handed batter hit six sixes in a 39-run over. It was also the fourth time a batter in men’s T20Is had hit six sixes, and the first time a team scored more than 36 in an over.

The record was broken in the 15th over of the innings. Visser smashed the first three balls from Nalin Nipiko over deep mid wicket, and a no-ball followed.

The free-hit was again hit for six on the leg side, which was then followed by a dot that the batter hit straight back at the stumps.

Nipiko overstepped, and then delivered another no-ball for height that was hit for six over fine-leg. The last ball was flicked over deep square leg to accumulate 39 runs.
