Australia's Josh Inglis etched his name in the record books on September 6, Friday, by smashing a sensational 43-ball century to register the fastest T20I hundred by an Australian batter during the 2nd T20I against Scotland in Edinburgh.
Opting to bowl first, Scotland started off strongly as they removed the dangerous Travis Head (0) and Jake Fraser-McGurk (16) inside five overs. However, Inglis (103) alongwith Cameron Green (36) bailed Australia out of trouble.
Inglis's innings included seven sixes and as many fours with a strike rate of 210.20. He was eventually dismissed in the 19th over by Christopher Sole as the visitors posted a mammoth 196/4.
