AUS vs WI 2nd T20I: Glenn Maxwell is just close to impossible to stop when he gets going and similar was the case when he picked up the bat in the second T20I against West Indies.

Maxwell smashed a remarkable century and scored an unbeaten 120 runs in 55 balls to help Australia post a massive total of 241/4 in their 20 overs while batting first at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, February 11.

With this fiery knock on the back of 12 fours and eight sixes, Maxwell equaled Rohit Sharma's tally of five T20I centuries.

This was Maxwell's second triple-digit score for the Aussies in the last three T20I matches.

He scored a century against India in his 100th T20I as well which was played in November last year in Guwahati to equal Rohit's similar record.

However, the Indian captain took a step forward with his fifth hundred which he scored in the third T20I against Afghanistan in Bengaluru earlier this year.

Maxwell's knock helped the hosts recover from 64/3 as he stitched an incredible partnership of 95 runs in 39 deliveries with Tim David for the fifth wicket with the latter scoring 31 runs in 14 balls.

He had first shared an 82-run partnership with Marcus Stoinis (16) and bright up his half-century in just 25 balls before he was joined by David.

In the list of most T20I centuries, Rohit and Maxwell are closely followed by Suryakumar Yadav who has four hundreds to his name in 60 T20I matches.

On the other hand, there are three other batters who have three T20I hundreds to their name.

 

Most T20I hundreds

Glenn Maxwell (AUS) - 5

Rohit Sharma (IND) - 5

Suryakumar Yadav (IND) - 4

Sabawoon Davizi (CZK-R - 3

Colin Munro (NZ) - 3

Babar Azam (PAK) - 3

 

The 35-year-old Maxwell has scored 2405 runs in 102 T20I matches for Australia at an average of 30.83 and striking at 155.26.

Other than five hundreds, he also has 10 fifties to add to his name in his T20I career so far.

Rohit Sharma scored his five centuries in 151 games at an average of 31.79 and a strike rate of 139.97.

Maxwell also became only the third Australian player after David Warner and Aaron Finch to touch the 9,500-run mark in T20s.

This is the must-win match for West Indies to bounce back in the three-match series as Australia have a 1-0 lead in the bag, having won the first match by 11 runs in Hobart.
