In modern-day ODI cricket, players have progressed to play more valiantly. Level pitches, taking care of impediments, and the utilization of two unused balls have all tilted the redirection in bolster of commanding batting. Scoring a half-century in less than 20 conveyances is an exceptional deed that as it were a few unsteady players have finished.

9. Glenn Maxwell (Australia)
In a high-voltage clash against India in Bengaluru, Maxwell comes to his fifty in reasonable 18 conveyances. His 22-ball 62 was a appear of sheer hostility, indeed in spite of the fact that Australia fell brief in the match.

8. Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)

Sri Lanka's Kusal Perera facilitated his symbol Sanath Jayasuriya’s turning point by coming to his fifty in a reasonable 17 balls against Pakistan. His pound of 68 showed up his capacity to overpower from ball one.
