Lhuan-dre Pretorius sets new T20 cricket record with unbeaten 188
South African batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius scored an unbeaten 188 in a domestic CSA T20 Challenge match on Friday at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.
Pretorius breaks long-standing batting record
The twenty-year-old left-hander surpassed Chris Gayle's previous mark of 175 not out achieved in the Indian Premier League in 2013. His innings included 13 sixes and 15 fours off 79 balls to help his Titans franchise reach 267 for three.
Titans secure emphatic victory
The Knights were bowled out for 143 in just 17.2 overs during the fixture. Pretorius finished with a strike rate of 237.97 after reaching his half-century off only 24 deliveries.
Recent form and injury history
This performance follows a recent international fifty against Namibia, although the player has faced injury issues recently. He had been well on course for a double-ton before the Titans completed their innings.
