With their Indian Premier League triumph over the Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad broke numerous records and created a new record for the highest-scoring T20 match in history.
Mumbai put up an excellent effort in their game but ultimately fell 31 runs short on 5 for 246, as the hosts set a new IPL record of 3 for 277. Though it was a small comfort, they contributed to setting a new record total of 523 runs, more than the 517 that South Africa and the West Indies had before. With 38 sixes throughout the match, it set a new record for the most hits in a T20 game.
A Thrilling Triumph
Abhishek Sharma hit 63 off 23 balls and Australian opener Travis Head made 62 from 24 balls to provide Sunrisers a strong start. However, South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen dominated the match with an outstanding 80 not out off 34 balls, including seven sixes and four fours.
Mumbai got off to a roaring start, scoring 56 runs in the first 19 balls. However, the Sunrisers captain, Pat Cummins, took the key wickets of Tilak Varma (64 off 34 balls) and opener Rohit Sharma (26 off 12 balls).
In the 15th over, Varma’s wicket left Mumbai 4 for 182, officially ending the chase.
Sunrisers broke the previous IPL record of 5 for 263, set by Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in 2013. Aiden Markram made an undefeated 42 at a strike rate of 150 in the game.
With a 30-point lead at the half of the second quarter, the Boston Celtics were ready to raise their record to an NBA-best and extend their winning run to ten games. However, the Atlanta Hawks stepped up and controlled the game.
With little over four minutes remaining before halftime, the Hawks trailed 68-38. However, they overcame the 30-point deficit to defeat the Celtics shockingly with a score of 120-118.
The NBA claims that this was the biggest comeback in this year’s season and the biggest turnaround of Hawks since the 1997-98.
In the closing seconds of the game, Hawks player De’Andre Hunter received the ball outside the three-point line after Clint Capela had successfully grabbed the offensive rebound, giving Atlanta supporters something to celebrate.
Atlanta Hawks – Uleashing power
With just 11 seconds remaining with Atlanta up by one point, Hunter ought to have clung to the ball. To the delight of both his teammates and Hawks supporters, Hunter instead unleashed his shooting from three-point range and scored to secure the victory.
In a post-game conference, Hawks coach Quin Snyder stated: “Any time you’re down that much, you have to have something out of the ordinary to get back in the game.. And when you have a group of people you know who are behind you, thick or thin, rain or shine – and there was a lot of rain early – they were a big part of helping the sun come out tonight.”
While Atlanta celebrated their victory with smiles on their faces, Boston was embarrassed by the game, losing to a team that is currently nine slots behind the Celtics in the Eastern Conference rankings as the regular season draws to an end.
The Celtics finish the regular season with a 57-15 record, but they still have the best record in the league going into the postseason.

Making history in Nairobi, Kenya, Zimbabwe set a new world record for the highest score in men’s T20 international cricket, scoring 344-4 against Gambia.
Zimbabwe won the match by 290 runs after bundling out their opponents for 54. The match is part of the African qualifying rounds for the 2026 World Cup. With their crushing victory, Zimbabwe broke the previous world record of 314-3 set by Nepal against Mongolia last year in Hangzhou, China.
Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza scored a lightning-fast 133 not out from just 43 balls. The athlete reached his century in 33 balls, matching the feat of Namibia’s Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, and scoring the second-fasest century in a T20 international. Sahil Chauhan remains the fastest century-maker in T20 internationals, having scored a hundred in just 27 balls for Estonia against Cyprus.
Zimbabwe’s Tadiwanashe Marumani, Clive Madande, and Brian Bennett all achieved half-centuries in the match against Gambia, scoring 62 off 19 balls, 53 not out off 17 balls, and 50 off 26 balls, respectively. Brandon Mavuta (3-10) and Richard Ngarava (3-13) took three wickets each.
This victory assures Zimbabwe a spot in the final African qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup. Five of the other seven spots have already been filled by Namibia, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, and Kenya.
Gambia, 95th in the world rankings, became the first team in cricket history to lose two T20 internationals by walkover, having been unable to fulfil matches against Rwanda and Seychelles.
In the final game of the series against Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram, Virat Kohli put up a spectacular performance by scoring his 46th ODI century. He surpassed Sachin Tendulkar’s previous record of 20 home ODI hundreds with this one.
The century also brings Sachin Tendulkar’s overall ODI century total of 49, which is currently just three off the Little Master’s record, closer to him.
After 85 balls, Kohli reached his century, but he then changed his strategy, scoring 166* off 110 deliveries to close out the innings. His current score in ODI cricket ranks second, and it is also the greatest at home.
The highest sixes he’s ever hit in an ODI inning were struck during his stunning effort, which included 13 fours and eight maximums.

Virat Kohli’s effort saw him overcome Mahela Jayawardene in the list of all-time ODI run scorers, proving that no records were spared on that day. With 12754 runs, he is currently only behind Sachin Tendulkar (14234), Kumar Sangakkara (14234), Ricky Ponting (13704), Sanath Jayasuriya (13430), and Jayasuriya (13430). (18426).
Following their victory in the day’s earlier toss, India decided to bat first. After India’s openers gave them the ideal start, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli used a century stand to launch an offensive on the opposition after Rohit Sharma left.
A big target of 391 was set by India for Sri Lanka after Gill reached his second ODI century (116 off 97 balls), at which point Kohli put the finishing touches on the victory.
Mohammed Siraj took the lead with a four-for as Sri Lanka’s total was bowled out for just 73 in response. The largest victory margin ever in a men’s ODI was 317 runs, achieved by India.
South Africa took control of Group 2 at the T20 World Cup on Sunday with a nervy win over India after Pakistan kept their faint semi-final hopes alive with their first win of the tournament in Australia.Bangladesh got their challenge back on track and moved level on points with India by holding off Zimbabwe in a thriller to leave Group 2 in the balance with five teams separated by three points with two games to play.
David Miller and Aiden Markram both hit half-centuries to lead South Africa to a five-wicket win with two balls to spare after the Proteas’ fast bowlers, led by Lungi Ngidi who took 4-29, restricted India to an under-par 133-9 on a lively Perth pitch.
Miller, who scored 59 not out, and Markram, who made 52, put on 76 after the side’s top order fell cheaply as they made hard work of what looked like a routine chase.
“Fortunately we got the momentum we needed,” said captain Temba Bavuma of his middle-order pair.
“We came into the tournament as non-favourites and we will keep flying under the radar,” he added with his side unbeaten after three matches. “We will keep improving and that’s what we are doing.”
India’s attack made early inroads with left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh striking twice in three balls.
First he removed Quinton de Kock, caught by KL Rahul for one, then two balls later had Rilee Rossouw, who made a century in the previous match against Bangladesh, lbw for nought.
Markram and Miller steadied the innings from 24-3, crawling to 40-3 at the halfway mark.
The pair then went after off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who was left crestfallen when the normally safe hands of Virat Kohli at deep midwicket dropped a routine chance from Markram when he was on 35.
‘Match-winning partnership’
India dragged the game to the final over where, needing six to win, Miller finished in style with two fours to round off an unbeaten 46-ball innings.
“We expected the pitch to have something in it,” said India captain Rohit Sharma, “which is why you saw that 130 was not an easy chase. I thought we fought well till the end but South Africa played well.
“It was a match-winning partnership from Miller and Markram. But we were not good enough on the field.”
Earlier Ngidi led a fiery pace onslaught after India chose to bat with only Yadav, with a 40-ball 68, standing firm after India slumped to 49-5.
Ngidi was ably supported by fellow fast bowler Wayne Parnell who finished with 3-15 after starting the innings with a T20 rarity — a maiden over.
Pakistan hammered the Netherlands by six wickets in Perth, reaching their target of 92 off just 13.5 overs, but they still lie fifth in Group 2 on two points, three points behind leaders South Africa, two behind India and Bangladesh and one behind Zimbabwe.
Pakistan restricted the Dutch to 91-9 and then cruised to 95-4 with Mohammad Rizwan making 49.
Pakistan need to win their remaining matches against South Africa on Thursday and Bangladesh in a week’s time, and need other results to go their way, to have any chance of securing a semi-final place.
“Very happy. Performed very well in the bowling and in the batting,” said Pakistan captain Babar Azam. “A win always gives you confidence.”
Man of the match Shadab Khan took 3-22 as Pakistan dominated a Dutch side who are now out of the semi-final running after a third straight defeat.
“I have bowled against a few of their players in county cricket, so I know how they play,” said Shadab.
Last-ball drama
Earlier in Brisbane, Bangladesh secured a dramatic last-ball win over Zimbabwe, aided by opener Najmul Shanto’s maiden half-century and Taskin Ahmed’s three wickets.
Shanto’s 71 helped steer Bangladesh to 150-7 in a match that went to the wire with Zimbabwe needing 16 off a last over that turned into an incredible finale.
Two wickets fell, a big six was hit before the teams walked off thinking the match was over, only to be called back on the field.
Bangladesh believed they had won when Blessing Muzarabani, needing five to win, was stumped off the last ball.
A review showed wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan had taken the ball in front of the stumps, which is illegal, and therefore a no-ball.
The teams had to return to the field for a free hit with four needed to win, but Muzarabani missed again leaving Zimbabwe short on 147-8.
