Australian Cricketer Creates record

Zimbabwe, July 04: Australian cricket captain Aaron Finch has broken his own record to help Australia claim a 100-run victory over host nation Zimbabwe in the second game of cricket's Twenty20 tri-series.

Finch blasted 16 fours and 10 sixes on his way to 172 runs from just 76 balls.

The performance smashed the previous record of 156 runs that Finch posted against England in 2013.

However, Finch failed to beat West Indies batsman Chris Gayle’s record of 175. Finch was bowled out by Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani when only two balls of Australia’s innings were left.

The opening stand between Finch and D’Arcy Short for the first wickets of 223 runs is also the record stand for T20 internationals for any wicket.

Here is the list of top 5 T20I innings:
