Aiden Markram hits the fastest ODI World Cup century in history.
At a match between Sri Lanka and South Africa for the ICC World Cup 2023 on Saturday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, South Africa’s Aiden Markram scored the fastest ODI World Cup hundred. Markram, who came in at number five, cruised to a quickfire 100 in 49 balls, shattering Ireland’s Kevin O’Brien’s 50-ball century from the 2011 tournament.
When South Africa was given the opportunity to bat, they got off to an amazing start thanks to centuries from Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen. After accomplishing the feat twice in 2015, South Africa tied its own record for the most hundreds in a single team innings (3). Only one other team, England, has ever scored three centuries in a single inning.
