Fours and sixes on 14 consecutive balls, crossed 100 runs in the powerplay itself, T20I world record-broken

A 3-match T20 series is being played between the Australian cricket team and Scotland teams. Let us tell you, this is the first bilateral series between Australia and Scotland. A big world record has been broken in the very first match of this series. This record has been broken by Australia's batsmen. During the match, Australia scored so many runs in the powerplay itself that everyone was surprised. A lot of fours and sixes were seen during Australia's innings.

Scotland batted first in this match and scored 154 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Australia's start was not very good. Opener Jake Fraser McGurk got out without opening his account on his T20 debut. But after this, explosive batting was seen from Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. Both players scored 113 runs in the powerplay itself. Let us tell you, this is the highest score made in the powerplay in T20I cricket so far.

Australia has broken South Africa's world record. South Africa had achieved the feat of scoring 102 runs in the powerplay against West Indies in the year 2023. But the innings of Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh broke this record. Let us tell you, during the match, both the players together hit fours and sixes on 14 consecutive balls. Which is very rarely seen in cricket.

Travis Head played an innings of 80 runs in 25 balls in this match. During this inning, Travis Head scored at a strike rate of 320.00 and hit 12 fours and 5 sixes. At the same time, he scored a total of 73 runs in the powerplay. With this, he also became the batsman who scored the most runs in the powerplay. Earlier in the year 2020, Paul Stirling had scored 63 runs in the powerplay against West Indies. But his record has now been broken.
