Today’s records
– Brendon McCullum reached his 50 from 18 deliveries, breaking the New Zealand (19 balls) and World Cup record for the fastest half-century, from just 18 balls. Amazingly, both those records had previously been held by McCullum.
– McCullum and Martin Guptill combined to take 29 runs from one Steve Finn over – the third-most ever by a New Zealand pair in ODIs.
– McCullum now has five ODI half-centuries from 21 balls or less – a number bettered by only Paksitani Shahid Afridi, with nine.
