Kirtipur (Nepal), Feb 27 (IANS) Namibia batter Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton on Tuesday hit a hundred off just 33 balls to break the record for the fastest T20I ton.
Loftie-Eaton achieved this feat in the first T20I of the Nepal Tri-Nation T20I series against the hosts.
The batter scored 101 off just 36 deliveries, reaching the hundred milestone on the 33rd delivery with a four. His record breaking century was laced with 11 fours and eight maximums, ICC reports.
The previous fastest century in men’s T20Is belonged to Nepal’s Kushal Malla, who hit one off 34 balls versus Mongolia last year.

Loftie-Eaton also claimed two wickets with his spin and was adjudged the Player of the Match.
