New Delhi, July 28: New Zealand's Martin Guptill slammed 102 from just 38 balls as Worcestershire thrashed Northamptonshire by nine wickets in English county cricket's Twenty20 Blast on Friday.
Set a target of 188, visitors Worcestershire won with nearly seven overs to spare, with Joe Clarke making an unbeaten 61 off 33 balls.
Guptill reached his hundred in 35 balls – the fourth fastest in T20 history along with Rohit Sharma and David Miller.
The record for the fastest T20 hundred belongs to West Indies batsman Chris Gayle who scored a ton off just 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in the 2013 Indian Premier League.
Clarke and Guptill put on 162 in 10 overs. It did not take long for the experienced Guptill, who hit 12 fours and seven sixes, to get into his stride.
