This is a new T20 record

Records | Twenty20 Internationals | Team records | Highest innings totals | ESPN Cricinfo

However the highest individual score is Finch’s 156 off just 63 balls vs England @ Southampton. In fact the top three scores belong to Australia.

I followed the score. And SL choked in response.

Any link for highlights?

264 chase was never on. It was just too much for anyone

Lanka made 178/9 which under normal circumstances would have been a very good total

Mad Max comes good once in 20 matches.

Good guy. Good sport. Unlike most of the Aussies, a genial fellow who is really nice to the opponents.

Maxwell reverse swept 2 or 3 sixes; shows his power. I have not seen anyone reverse flick so successfully in recent times

Thanks for that.

what a majestic display. Slashing and dicing all around.

The most impressive ones were the reverse-sweep sixes, some actually half-reverse.

It was rare to see dilshan drop a lollypop out there. Could have saved then some damage.

I wonder what does they feed their nation to get this kind of players after player!!!

If i'd me sports minister, would have sacked the whole selection commitee and chairman for having one day team at 9th position and may have charged olympics admins and players of defaming the nation and would have filed a case against them...
