Australia’s Glenn Maxwell hits fastest ever World Cup hundred

Glenn Maxwell smashed the fastest World Cup century in history against the Netherlands today, despite feeling “pretty cooked”.

He took just 40 balls to reach three figures and beat the record set by Aiden Markram earlier in the tournament.

Maxwell said: “It feels pretty good. I have been pretty cooked today, so I wasn’t expecting much, but it probably cleared my head a little bit to be able to go out there and play.

“I was just trying to get a read on the bowler because I felt like I had enough time to change and adapt. 

With the fastest World Cup century record being broken twice in one month, who is on the list of the top 10 players to hit the fastest World Cup century?

  1. Glenn Maxwell (AUS) – 106 runs – 40 balls – 25th October 2023
  2. Aiden Markram (SA) – 106 runs – 49 balls – 7th October 2023
  3. Kevin O’Brien (IRE) – 113 runs – 50 balls – 2nd March 2011
  4. Glenn Maxwell (AUS) – 102 runs – 51 balls – 8th March 2015
  5. AB de Villiers (SA) – 162 runs – 52 balls – 27th February 2015
  6. Eoin Morgan (ENG) – 101 runs – 57 balls – 18th June 2019
  7. Heinrich Klaasen (SA) – 109 runs – 61 balls – 21st October 2023
  8. Rohit Sharma (IND) – 131 runs – 63 balls – 11th October 2023
  9. Kusal Mendis (SL) – 122 runs – 65 balls – 10th October 2023
