A Burnaby-based cricketer has entered the sport's record book, becoming the first Canadian to score a century at the Global T20 Canada tournament.
Dilpreet Singh Bajwa, a member of Centurions Cricket Club in the B.C. Mainland Cricket League, slammed 10 fours and six sixes Tuesday, July 30, in going 100 not out for the Montreal Tigers in their 42-run win over the Brampton Wolves.
The 21-year-old's historic century came off 55 balls, as Montreal, which won the toss and elected to bat, ended its innings at 166 for seven.
In response, Brampton was all out at 124 in the final over.
"It was my first inning as an opener and I am glad I executed it well," Bajwa said in a statement.
"This league is a good exposure for me and other Canadian players.”
The Global T20 Canada, now in its fourth season, runs through Sunday, Aug. 4.
