An astonishing century<\/a> by captain Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming led Japan to a <\/span>48-run win<\/span><\/a> over South Korea at the Sano International Cricket Ground today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a sensational start to the Japanese campaign to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup<\/a> in the USA and West Indies, Kadowaki-Fleming struck 10 sixes and 10 fours in a 40-ball century that sits sixth on the list of fastest T20 International hundreds<\/a> of all time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His first fifty came from 21 balls, but in the 10th over he hit five sixes in a row off the bowling of Kuldeep Gurjar to have the crowd in raptures, which only increased when he went 4,6,6 in the 12th over to become the first Japanese batter to ever score an official T20 International hundred.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In partnership with Sabaorish Ravichandran (24) 88 runs were added in 41 balls until Kadowaki-Fleming finally mistimed one to be caught for 114 (46) in the 14th over but the Japan batters continued to be aggressive.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 7-ball 17* by Vice-Captain Reo Sakurano-Thomas lifted Japan past 200 and the innings eventually closed on 218\/8 which, even with some small boundaries due to the wet outfield, was still a daunting target.<\/span><\/p>\n
