Former Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya was one of the most destructive batsmen in ODI cricket and in April 1996, he made the most of a small ground at Singapore to decimate the Pakistani bowling attack with a 48-ball century.

He flayed the likes of Waqar Younis and Saqlain Mushtaq to score 134 runs, consisting of 11 fours and 11 sixes in total. Jayasuriya's cutting, pulling and ability to clear the fence was on full display as he helped Sri Lanka pile up a mammoth 349 in 50 overs.

Sri Lanka won the game comfortably by 34 runs in the end.
