During the first T20I of the ongoing South Africa’s tour of England at the County Ground in Bristol, Moeen Ali smashed the fastest half-century by an England player ever in T20Is, reaching the mark on only his 16th delivery of the innings.
The Proteas bowlers were in for further beating from the other end as well, as in-form Jonny Bairstow smashed a 53-ball 90, as the duo powered the English total to 234/6 – their second-highest score ever in the format till date.
The pair collected as many as 98 runs off the last 5 Overs, which included a 33-run Over off medium-pacer Andile Phehlukwayo, with Bairstow hitting two, while Ali smashing three Sixes during the 17th Over.
While Ali fell soon after his fastest T20I fifty, he smashed 2 Fours and 6 Sixes during his innings of 52 off 18 deliveries. Bairstow, on the other hand, smashed 3 Fours and 8 Sixes, to be finally dismissed on the penultimate ball of the England innings.
Moeen Ali madness in Bristol. He scored the fastest T20I fifty by an England player 💛🔥
