Top 10 Fastest Fifties in T20 international cricket

5. Stephan Myburgh – 17 balls v Ireland, 2014:

The stage was set for Netherlands. Ireland had made 189 batting first and Netherlands had to chase that score in fewer than 14.2 overs to qualify for the next round or they would have been knocked out. Enter Stephan Myburgh. The Orange opener made sure that the momentum was built with an astonishing attack on the Irish bowlers from the word go. His 50 off just 17 balls and his final score of 63 runs off 23 balls made sure that the incoming batsmen had to just keep going for Netherlands to qualify.
