Listing Australian players with 100-plus sixes in T20Is
What's the story
Australia's T20I captain Mitchell Marsh recently scored his first-ever T20 international century. His explosive knock of 103* off just 52 balls helped Australia clinch a nail-biting three-wicket victory against New Zealand in the third and final match of the series at Bay Oval on Saturday. The game also saw Marsh complete a century of sixes in T20Is. On this note, we look at the players with 100 or more T20I sixes for Australia.
