David Warner scores maiden T20I century

Australia opening batsman David Warner has scored his maiden T20I century against Sri Lanka on Sunday.

Warner, who was struggling with his form during the Ashes series against England, played a knock of 100 runs off 56 balls.

Warner featured in 70 T20I in which he had 1792 runs under his name. He also had 13 half-centuries in the shortest format of the game.

Interestingly, Warner, today turned 33-years-old. In the first ongoing T20I of the three-match series, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to field. Warner and Aussies skipper Aaron Finch opened innings and built a huge 122-run first-wicket partnership.

Finch has played a fiery knock of 64 runs in 36 balls. He amassed eight boundaries and three sixes in his inning before he was scalped by Lakshan Sandakan in the 11th over.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell came up in the batting order added another hundred plus partnership for the second wicket with Warner.

Maxwell scored 62 quick runs in 28 balls with a strike rate over 200. He was picked by pacer Dasun Shanaka in the last over of the Australian innings.

Warner remains unbeaten at a score of 100 with Ashton Turner (1*) to post Australia's highest home total 233/3.
