WI's Matthew Forde Hits Joint-fastest Half-century In ODIs Vs Ireland

By IANS News May 23, 2025 • 20:20 PM View: 408

West Indies: Matthew Forde announced himself on the international stage in spectacular fashion on Friday, equalling the record for the fastest fifty in One-Day International (ODI) history during the second ODI between West Indies and Ireland in Dublin.

Coming in at No. 8, the 23-year-old hammered a blistering half-century off just 16 balls, matching the iconic record set by AB de Villiers in 2015 against the very same West Indies side.

Forde’s whirlwind knock came at the perfect time for the visitors, who were looking to level the three-match series after a heavy defeat in the first ODI.
