List of players with three or more T20I hundreds
Swashbuckling Australian batter Glenn Maxwell hit a superb hundred at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, February 11 in the second T20I of the three-match series against the West Indies. Coming into bat at No. 4, the ‘Big Show’ clobbered 120* off 55 balls as Australia put up an imposing 241/4 on the board after being sent into bat by the Windies.
The Aussies got off to an aggressive start with the willow, but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Josh Inglis fell for 4, opener David Warner for 22 off 19, while skipper Mitchell Marsh perished for a quick-fire 29 off 12 balls. Maxwell almost single-handedly lifted Australia to a match-winning total, slamming 12 fours and eight sixes in his unbeaten knock.
Maxwell’s heroics resulted in a comfortable 34-run win for the hosts as the West Indies were held to 207/9 despite skipper Rovman Powell’s blazing 63 off 36 balls and Andre Russell’s 16-ball 37. Marcus Stoinis claimed three wickets, while Josh Hazlewood and Spencer Johnson picked up two each.
