3. Jos Buttler (50 balls) – Southampton, 2019

Jos Buttler appears on this list again for another century on May 11, 2019, in Southampton. It was an ODI series match before the World Cup 2019, but his 50-ball hundred was full of pure power-hitting, for which Pakistan bowlers had nothing to say to him.

4. Ross Taylor (70 balls) – Napier, 2015

Ross Taylor played a ripping innings against Pakistan in Napier on February 3, 2015. His 70-ball hundred was seen when batsmen went out to put on a show and entertain the crowd, playing some real classy strokes.

5. Travis Head (70 balls) – Lahore, 2022

Travis Head hit a century off 70 balls on 29 March 2022 in Lahore. He started attacking right from the beginning during his match in Pakistan, taking full benefit of the circumstances. He played classical stroke play and helped his team amass a stiff total.

These magnificent innings speak for the talent and aggression of the modern-day cricketer. Scoring a fast hundred against Pakistan is never easy, but these players have made it look so easy with their skill and power. In the future, we may witness even quicker centuries as cricket develops!
