On This Day, in 2025, Mitchell Marsh lit up a T20I against New Zealand with a blistering 103 off just 52 balls for Australia, a knock that stands as the finest batting display on this date in the format's history.
The occasion also belongs to Rilee Rossouw, who struck exactly 100 off 48 deliveries for South Africa against India back in 2022, while Faf du Plessis (87 off 53) and Shane Watson (83 off 53) powered Chennai Super Kings against Punjab Kings in the 2020 IPL.
With the ball, Rosemary Mair's 4 for 19 for New Zealand against India in 2024 leads the way, matched for wickets by James Neesham's 4 for 26 and Nonkululeko Mlaba's 4 for 29, both in later editions.
