Allen’s record-breaking knock

Finn Allen powered New Zealand into the T20 World Cup 2026 final with a breathtaking innings in the semifinal.

33-ball century

He smashed the fastest century in T20 World Cup history, reaching the milestone in just 33 balls.

Incredible power-hitting

Allen dominated South Africa’s attack, hitting 10 fours and eight sixes in a brutal display of power hitting.

Sheet domination

Out of the 33 balls he faced, 18 went to the boundaries, showing complete control over the bowlers.

Kohli still ahead in one stat

Allen’s hundred had only four dot balls, but it still wasn’t enough to beat Virat Kohli’s record.

Kohli’s unbeaten 72 in the 2014 semifinal had just three dot balls, still the lowest in a T20 World Cup knockout innings.
