This is the latest news about Kusal Perera’s Record Century Against New Zealand. After winning the first two games when the middle order for Sri Lanka failed to produce, New Zealand has already concluded the three-match series. During his 46-ball innings, Kusal Perera struck four sixes and thirteen fours, setting a record for the fastest century by a Sri Lankan in T20 internationals, showcasing his determination to prove to the visitors his formidable opponent.
Dropping him on 15 and 60 helped him, and in the penultimate over, Rachin Ravindra caught him at point off Daryl Mitchell. Before reaching 100 with Charith Asalanka, who hammered 46 off just 24 deliveries with five sixes and one four, Kusal Perera was in partnerships of 41 with Avishka Fernando (17).

For the first time in the series, Sri Lanka opened the batting and had 24 runs in three overs before Mitchell Hay made a spectacular catch and Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 14.
Hay, the wicketkeeper, had to run back to the boundary to catch the top edge, then toss it in the air as he crossed it before coming back to finish the dismissal. After making 22 off 16 balls, Kusal Mendis pulled Mitch Santner and was caught by Michael Bracewell with a deft over-the-shoulder catch.
