On This Day in 2022, South Africa dismantled Bangladesh in the most emphatic fashion, led by a blistering century from Rilee Rossouw. The left-hander smashed 109 off just 56 balls in a T20I, announcing himself as a devastating force at the top of the order. His assault set the tone for a complete team performance.
With the ball, Anrich Nortje delivered a spell for the ages in the same contest, claiming 4 wickets for just 10 runs against Bangladesh. The combination of Rossouw's firepower and Nortje's precision made for a dominant South African showing.
The date has also seen other memorable knocks, including David Warner's 100 off 56 for Australia against Sri Lanka in 2019, proving October 27 a special day for T20 batting.
