England T20I captain Harry Brook put on a sensational batting masterclass, blasting the second-fastest century of his T20 career to guide England to an emphatic 119-run victory over Sri Lanka in the opening T20 international.
Brook reached his milestone ton in just 42 deliveries and remained unbeaten on a blistering 114 off only 49 balls. His explosive knock included 10 boundaries and 6 sixes, highlighted by a staggering 30-run assault in a single over. Alongside Jos Buttler—who contributed a blazing 80 off 44 deliveries featuring 8 fours and 3 sixes—Brook forged a devastating 128-run partnership off just 60 balls, propelling England to a commanding total of 254 for four.
