West Indies powerhouse Sherfane Rutherford etched his name into the record books by smashing the first fifty of his T10 career in just 11 balls, producing one of the fastest half-centuries ever witnessed in the format. Walking in with his team reeling at 10/2, Rutherford launched a breathtaking counterattack, dismantling the New Zealand bowling attack with fearless stroke play. He eventually finished unbeaten on 56 from only 14 deliveries, striking five fours and six towering sixes at a phenomenal strike rate of 400.00. His historic knock completely transformed the chase, guiding West Indies to a commanding six-wicket victory in the opening match of the Tri-Ocean Series 2026 while earning a well-deserved Player of the Match award.
