Temba Bavuma, representing South Africa, also played a pivotal role in this extraordinary day. The Proteas batter scored 103 runs off 116 balls while supporting his side against Australia. Bavuma's innings was instrumental in South Africa posting a mammoth total of 365/9 in their second innings.

The day's heroics were completed by Tom Banton, who scored his maiden ODI century for England against Sri Lanka at The Oval.
