South Africa's AB De Villiers hits fastest international 150
AB de Villiers hit the fastest 150 in one-day international history as South Africa amassed 408-5 in their Pool B match against West Indies in Sydney.
De Villiers reached 150 from 64 balls, beating the previous record, set by Australia's Shane Watson, by 19 balls. Test Match Special's Neil Manthorp and Graeme Swann commentate as he reaches the landmark in the final over of the innings.
He finished unbeaten on 162 from 66 balls as South Africa made the second-highest total in World Cups.
Only last month, he hit the fastest-ever ODI hundred against the same team in Johannesburg, from 31 balls. In that same innings, South Africa's captain also set the record for the fastest fifty in ODIs, from 16 balls.
