The performance came in Match 8 on October 31, 2026. In a contest reduced to five overs per side, Biratnagar raced to 105 for 2 and brought up the hundred with two balls remaining in their innings.
Five fastest team hundreds in men's T20 cricket
1. Biratnagar Kings vs Sudurpaschim Royals, Nepal Premier League — 28 balls (2026)
2=. Eswatini vs Mozambique, T20 International — 29 balls (2026)
2=. South Delhi Superstarz vs Purani Delhi 6, Delhi Premier League — 29 balls (2025)
4=. India vs New Zealand, T20 International — 30 balls (2026)
4=. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals, Indian Premier League — 30 balls (2024)
The ranking uses legal deliveries taken to reach 100. Teams requiring the same number of balls share a position.
1. Biratnagar Kings — 28 balls
Biratnagar's assault started immediately. They reached 50 in only eight deliveries before completing the fastest hundred in the listed men's T20 competitions in 4.4 overs.
Shehan Jayasuriya led the scoring with 39 from 11 balls. Lokesh Bam made 25 from ten, while Andre Russell added an unbeaten 29 from ten deliveries. The Kings finished on 105 for 2 and won by 35 runs after limiting Sudurpaschim to 70 for 3.
2=. Eswatini — 29 balls
Eswatini reached three figures in 4.5 overs against Mozambique on June 7, 2026. The display set the fastest team-hundred mark in men's T20 internationals at the time and remains one of the quickest international efforts on record.
2=. South Delhi Superstarz — 29 balls
South Delhi Superstarz matched the 29-ball mark against Purani Delhi 6 in the Delhi Premier League on August 27, 2025. They continued to 136 in 41 deliveries, establishing a franchise-cricket benchmark that Biratnagar have now bettered by one legal ball.
4=. India — 30 balls
India reached 100 at the end of the fifth over while chasing 199 against New Zealand on October 27, 2026. Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi drove the powerplay attack before India completed the chase in 13.2 overs, with Sharma making 113 from 38 balls.
4=. Sunrisers Hyderabad — 30 balls
Sunrisers Hyderabad's 2024 assault on Delhi Capitals remains one of the IPL's defining powerplay performances. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma took SRH to 100 in five overs and 125 without loss after six—the highest powerplay total in the competition at the time.
A landmark for Biratnagar and the NPL
Biratnagar's 28-ball hundred is a major milestone for the Nepal Premier League. It places an NPL franchise ahead of established international and franchise sides in one of T20 cricket's clearest measures of attacking speed.
The Kings needed the unusual setting of a five-over match, but the achievement still demanded immediate precision: 100 runs from 28 legal balls leaves almost no room for a quiet over. It is another example of how quickly the limits of T20 batting continue to move.
