7 - A total of seven centuries were hit by batters at the @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup 2026, the most in a single edition of the competition and as many as the previous five editions combined (2024 – 0, 2022 – 2, 2021 – 1, 2016 – 2, 2014 – 2). Uptick.

106 - India hit 106 sixes at the @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup 2026, becoming the first side to hit 100+ sixes in a single edition of the competition; indeed, India hit a boundary every 4.2 balls, the outright best such rate of any team in a single edition of the competition. Robust.

250+ - With 255/5 in today’s game, #TeamIndia have become the 2nd team to register three 250+ scores in a single T20 competition (also @SunRisers in IPL 2024); it is their 7th total of 250+ such scores in men’s T20’s, 2 more than next best – @SunRisers (5). Dominating.

89 - @IamSanjuSamson’s 89 is the highest score by a men's batter in an @T20WorldCup Final; having also scored 89 (vs England), he becomes just the 3rd batter after Shahid Afridi (2009) and Virat Kohli (2014) to record 50+ scores in both SF and Final of the same edition. Class.

45.4 & 144.5 - @TilakV9 (Average 45.4 & Strike-Rate 144.5) is the only batter from a full-member team to have an average higher of 40 and a strike-rate of 140+ in the men's #T20I format (min. 350 runs). Unmatched. #T20WorldCup

29 - England batters have lost 29 wickets to spinners in the ongoing men's @T20WorldCup, the most by any side in a single edition; 6 of these dismissals have been of Jacob Bethell, the most dismissals by a batter to a spinner in a single edition. Unprecedented. #T20WorldCup

383 - With his 2nd ton at the @ICC Men's #T20WorldCup 2026, Sahibzada Farhan (383) surpassed Virat Kohli's (319 in 2014) record for most runs in a single edition of the competition; he is also the 1st batter to log multiple tons in a single edition of the competition. Outdone.

26 - Shivam Dube conceded 26 runs in the 15th over in today’s game against Zimbabwe, the most runs conceded by any India bowler in an over in ICC Men’s @T20WorldCup history. Unwanted. #T20WorldCup

100 - @Harry_Brook_88's 100 today was his maiden ton in men's T20Is and the first ton by a captain at the @ICC Men's #T20WorldCup; in fact, he became the 3rd @englandcricket batter to log a ton in all three men's international formats (also Jos Buttler & Dawid Malan). Momentous.

4 - This is the first time @englandcricket's Jos Buttler has been dismissed before reaching double figures in four consecutive T20I innings. 2 vs Pakistan 7 vs Sri Lanka 3 vs Italy 3 vs Scotland Rough.

2 - @AHosein21 has become the second @windiescricket bowler after Ravi Rampaul (vs England in 2012) to register a double-wicket maiden over in an @ICC Men’s @T20WorldCup game. Rare. #T20WorldCup

254/6 - 254/6 is the 2nd highest total in the history of the @ICC Men’s @T20WorldCup behind Sri Lanka’s 260/6 against Kenya in 2007; it is also West Indies’ 3rd-highest total in men’s T20Is after 258/5 vs South Africa (March 2023) and 256/5 vs Ireland (June 2025). Colossal.

250 - @SHetmyer's 85 at a 250 strike rate is the highest by any @windiescricket batter when scoring 50+ at the @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup; his 14 boundaries are the joint third most by a #Windies batter in an innings in the competition behind @henrygayle (17 vs SA, 16 vs ENG). Bold.

9.4 - @CricketAus chased down the 105-run target today in just 9.4 overs, the joint fastest in the @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup when chasing a target of 100+ runs alongside England (target of 116 vs USA chased down in 9.4 overs). Speedy.

19y 141d - Canada's Yuvraj Samra became the youngest player to hit a century in @ICC Men's @T20WorldCup history at 19 years and 141 days of age; his 110 is also the third highest score by a teenager in men's T20Is (K Malla - 137* for NEP; S Salau - 112 for NIG). Arrival. #NZvCAN

9 - @travishead34 & Mitch Marsh’s 104-run stand is @CricketAus' 9th 100-run stand at the @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup, the most by a side in the competition; in fact, it is #Australia’s 5th 100-run opening stand in the competition, the joint most by any side (also Pakistan). Combine.

10 - Ishan Kishan’s 10 boundary fours today made him the third India batter to strike 10+ fours in a single innings in the @ICC Men’s #T20World Cup (Virat Kohli – 11 vs West Indies & Suryakumar Yadav – 10 vs USA); in fact, this was Kishan's tenth 50+ score in the format. Power.

19 - Aiden Markram reached his 50 in just 19 balls today, the fastest by any @ProteasMenCSA batter in @ICC Men’s #T20WorldCup history; his 86* tonight is the highest score by any South Africa captain in the tournament and his joint-highest score in men’s T20Is. Leader.

65 - Matt Renshaw's 65 today is the second highest score of any player for Australia batting at No.6 or lower in a men's T20I innings. Composure. #T20WorldCup 85* - Cameron White (9 May 2010 vs Sri Lanka)

64* - Only Sikandar Raza (82 vs Ireland - 17 Oct 2022) has made a higher score for @ZimCricketv at the ICC Men's #T20WorldCup than Brian Bennett today (64*). Substantial. #ZIMvAUS
