Finch鈥檚 record

Australia opener Aaron Finch smashed the highest score in a Twenty20 international in Southampton on Thursday when he reached 156 in his team’s 248 for six in the first of two matches against England. The burly batsman struck 11 fours and 14 sixes off 63 balls to better the previous best of 123 scored by New Zealander Brendon McCullum. His efforts helped Australia to 248 for six, a total beyond England’s reach despite the effort of Joe Root who stroked 90 not out off 49 balls in its 209-6. Victory was Australia’s first in any competitive international for 200 days.
