Power hitter Andre Russell of the Jamaica Tallawahs scripted history in the Caribbean Premier League record books with a spectacular show on Friday, scoring the fastest half-century in T20 league history (CPL). Russell, who came in to bat in the 18th over and set the record with an unbeaten 14-ball 50, led Tallawahs to a massive 255/5 against St Lucia Kings at Warner Park.
Here’s the full list of records set and broken during the contest

*Russell’s half-century off 14 deliveries is the fastest ever in CPL history. He overtook the previous record of 15-ball fifty set by JP Duminy in 2019.

*Russell blasted 49 runs in the final two overs of the innings and thus drew level for the most numbers of runs scored in the 19th and 20th over of a T20I inning. Umar Akmal is the other batter to have done the same during the National T20 Cup in 2016.

*Tallawahs crushed Kings by 120 runs which is the biggest win by run-margin in CPL history. Before them, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots held the record when they beat Tallawahs by 119 runs in 2015.

*In Tallawahs total of 255, a total of 25 runs were registered in the extras column which is the most in CPL history.

*During his innings Russell struck three fours and six sixes having walked in to bat in the 18th over of the Tallawahs innings.
