Simon O’Donnell’s fastest fifty in ODIs — off 18 balls
On May 2, 1990 Australia flogged Sri Lanka in the second semifinal of the Austral-Asia cup. If Dean Jones’s century grinded the Sri Lankans, then Simon O’Donnell’s 29-ball 74 came as the executioner’s axe. Sarang Bhalerao revisits O’Donnell’s world-record feat of scoring the fastest fifty in the One Day Internationals at that time.
