Top 10 T20I Teams and Their First T20I Centurions

#2 New Zealand - Brendon McCullum 116* (56) vs Australia, 2010

New Zealand v Australia - Twenty20 International

New Zealand wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum became the second batsman to score a T20I hundred when the right-handed batsman achieved this feat against Australia. It took almost 2 and a half years for a batsman to score a T20I hundred after Chris Gayle. Playing in Christchurch, McCullum opened the innings for New Zealand and attacked the Australian bowlers right from the first ball.

He remained not out on 116 off 56 deliveries at the end of overs. Bazz smashed 12 fours and 8 sixes in his aggressive knock and led New Zealand to a mammoth 214/6 in 20 overs. However, Australia too managed to score 214 in their 20 overs leading the match to a super over. The Aussies could only 6 runs batting first while the home side chased down the target in just 4 balls to level the T20I series.
