Colin Munro has set a T20 world record | Colin Munro recorded the third international T20 century

Colin Munro recorded the third international T20 century, New Zealand won the series 2-0 by defeating West Indies by 119 runs in the third and final match. Munro scored 104 runs in 53 balls and became the first player to score three centuries in T20 internationals, which helped New Zealand score 243 runs for 5 wickets, which is their highest T20 score. Let's say before that Rohit Sharma, along with four other players, had 2-2 centuries in T20.

The starting of the West Indies was very poor and both the openers Chadwick Walton and Chris Gayle were dismissed in the first over of Tim Southee  without opening their account. The team could not recover from this shock and was reduced to 124 runs in 16.3 overs.  shai Hope did not come for batting due to injury during fielding.

Thus the West Indies' disappointing tour ended, in which New Zealand won both Tests, three ODIs and two T20 Internationals.  One T20  match was washed by. Andre Fletcher was able to bat on behalf of the West Indies, who scored 46 runs in 32 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes. Apart from them,  even  a batsman could not score a  more than  20 runs. Southee took 3 wickets  from New Zealand, while Trent Boult and Ish Sodhi took 2-2 wickets.

Earlier, Munro played a stormy batting. He hit 10 sixes and three fours in 53 balls. Munro, who has  already scored a hundred against India and Bangladesh,  has overtaken the group of 4 players who have 2 international hundreds in their names.  Munro and Martin Guptill shared the first wicket with 136 runs to give New Zealand a fantastic start.

Guptill returned to form and scored 63 runs in 38 balls. Rayad Emerit, who made his debut 2 months early on his 37th birthday, gave the West Indies the first breakthrough by catching Guptill behind the wicket. Munro became the victim of Carlos Braithwaite on the first ball of the 19th over. He got caught by Shimron Hetmeier
