Before 2026, no T20 World Cup had produced more than two centuries. The 2026 edition in India and Sri Lanka produced seven, as flat pitches, short boundaries and fearless batting changed what was possible.
Here is every century scored at the T20 World Cup 2026.
1. Pathum Nissanka (Sri Lanka): 100* off 52 vs Australia
Sri Lanka's opener made an unbeaten hundred against Australia in Pallekele on 16th February. It was a huge innings in Group B, where Australia were eventually knocked out.
2. Yuvraj Samra (Canada): 110 off 65 vs New Zealand
On 17th February in Chennai, Canada's 19-year-old Yuvraj Samra scored 110 against New Zealand, the highest individual score of the tournament. He became the first batter from an Associate nation to score a T20 World Cup hundred, and the youngest centurion in T20 World Cup history.
3. Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan): 100* off 58 vs Namibia
Pakistan's opener scored his first century of the tournament against Namibia at the SSC in Colombo on 18th February.
4. Harry Brook (England): 100 off 51 vs Pakistan
England captain Harry Brook made 100 against Pakistan in Pallekele on 24th February, becoming the first captain to score a century at a men's T20 World Cup.
5. Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan): 100 off 60 vs Sri Lanka
Farhan's second hundred came against Sri Lanka in Pallekele on 28th February, making him the first batter to score two centuries in a single T20 World Cup. He and Fakhar Zaman added 176, the highest partnership in the tournament's history. Farhan finished with a record 383 runs.
6. Finn Allen (New Zealand): 100* off 33 vs South Africa
The fastest century in T20 World Cup history. In the first semi-final at Eden Gardens on 4th March, Finn Allen reached three figures in just 33 balls, with 10 fours and 8 sixes, as New Zealand chased 170 in 12.5 overs to beat unbeaten South Africa by 9 wickets. It was also the first century ever scored in a T20 World Cup knockout match, and broke Chris Gayle's record of a 47-ball hundred from 2016.
7. Jacob Bethell (England): 105 off 48 vs India
A day later, in the second semi-final at the Wankhede, Jacob Bethell made 105 off 48 balls as England chased India's 253/7. It is the highest score ever made in a T20 World Cup knockout. England needed 30 off the last over, bowled by Shivam Dube, and Bethell was run out off the first ball as India won by 7 runs.
The hundreds that almost happened
India did not have a centurion, but Sanju Samson came close twice: 97 not out against West Indies in the Super 8 and 89 in both the semi-final and the final. Zimbabwe's Brian Bennett was left on 97 not out against India in Chennai.
