Nissanka's T20 World Cup Century Stuns Australia, Eyes Historic Record

• Pathum Nissanka's unbeaten 100 against Australia led to their T20 World Cup exit, making him the first centurion of the tournament.
• Australia, the 2021 champions, failed to reach the Super 8 after losses and a rain-affected match.
• Nissanka aims to become the first batsman to score two centuries in a single T20 World Cup edition.
• He also has Chris Gayle's record of most T20 World Cup centuries in his sights, needing one more to equal it.
• Sri Lanka, undefeated and co-hosts of the 2026 T20 World Cup, has four more matches, including Super 8 fixtures, for Nissanka to achieve this feat.
