New Delhi [India], September 19 (ANI): Namibian all-rounder Jan Frylinck has joined an exclusive club and sent a warning to rivals ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier, smashing the equal-third-fastest half-century in men's T20I history during Namibia's 28-run win over Zimbabwe, as per the official website of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The injection of power at the top of the order set the platform for the tourists, who went on to post 204/7 in the 28-run win.
Frylinck made 15 runs in the first over of the innings, hitting Wellington Masakadza for three consecutive boundaries, before hitting towering quick Blessing Muzarabani for 14 runs in three deliveries to be 29 not out from his first eight balls.
Despite the defeat, Zimbabwe claimed the series 2-1, with the matches the ideal hitout for both sides ahead of the final round of the Africa T20 World Cup 2026 qualifying.
The pair feature in different groups in the eight-team tournament and are highly favoured to claim the two spots in the region, though face competition from the likes of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
