23YO Star Matches ABD’s Record!

Written By: Mobin

West Indies’ Matthew Forde blasts joint-fastest ODI fifty in just 16 balls, equalling AB de Villiers’ 2015 world record during 2nd ODI vs Ireland.

Record-Breaker

Forde smashed 58 off 19 balls, including 8 sixes & 2 fours—56 of his 58 runs came from boundaries in a breathtaking display of power-hitting.

Explosive Knock

His fiery knock propelled West Indies to 352/8, setting a massive target. Ireland crumbled under pressure, losing by 5 wickets (DLS).

Match Impact

Primarily a medium-pace bowler, Forde shone with bat too—scoring 38 in 1st ODI, rescuing WI from 71/6 with a 98-run stand with Roston Chase.

All-Round Talent

Forde’s 16-ball fifty joins ABD’s legendary record. Only 3 players (ABD, Forde, Sanath Jayasuriya) have ever achieved this feat in ODIs.

Historic Moment

At just 23, Forde’s fearless batting & bowling skills make him a rising star for West Indies cricket in both white-ball formats.

Future Star

Social media erupted praising Forde’s insane hitting. “New WI superstar!” tweets a fan. Can he break more records in the T20 World Cup?
