Jacob Bethell Scores Second-Fastest T20 World Cup Century in England's Semifinal Loss

Jacob Bethell scored a remarkable 105 off 48 balls in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal against India at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, becoming the youngest England player to score centuries in all three international formats. His 45-ball century was the second-fastest in T20 World Cup history, equalling the joint-fastest fifty in knockout matches. Despite his innings, England fell short by seven runs chasing a target of 254, with India advancing to the final against New Zealand.
