Top 10 T20I Teams and Their First T20I Centurions

#4 Sri Lanka - Mahela Jayawardene 100 (64) vs Zimbabwe, ICC WT20 2010

West Indies v Sri Lanka - ICC T20 World Cup

Mahela Jayawardene was one of the best ODI batsmen but very few would remember that he was the first Sri Lankan player to score a hundred in T20I format. While opening the innings against Zimbabwe in a group stage match of ICC WT20 2010, Jayawardene played one of the most classy knocks in T20I history. He paced his innings well and notched up his maiden T20I hundred in 64 balls.

The Sri Lankan opener smashed 10 fours and 4 sixes during his innings and helped Sri Lanka reach 173/7 in their 20 overs. However, the 2nd innings of the match was reduced to 5 overs and Zimbabwe were set a target of 44 runs. Sri Lanka won the match by 14 runs and Mahela Jayawardene received the man of the match in that game.
