Top 3 performances of Aaron Finch in T20Is

Aaron Finch was a force to reckon with in Australian cricket, and he celebrates his 39th birthday on November 17, 2025. One of the best leaders the world of cricket has ever seen, Finch remains the only Australian captain to win the T20 World Cup in 2021.

Aaron Finch was an explosive batter in the T20 format, knowing well how to use the powerplay overs. He loved batting against both pace and spinners in the 20-over format. Finch also remains the only batter in T20Is to hit two scores of 150 plus in international cricket.

Here are the top 3 performances of Aaron Finch in T20Is:

3. 89 vs India, Rajkot, 2013

India and Australia clashed in the only T20I in Rajkot in 2013, and India opted to bowl first. Aaron Finch starred with 89 in 52 balls with 14 fours and one six, while Nic Maddinson made 34 in 16 balls and Glenn Maxwell made 27 runs to take Australia to 201/7. It was a brilliant show of batting by Finch, who tackled the Indian medium-pacers well.

Despite his knock, India managed to win the game by six wickets, thanks to 77* by Yuvraj Singh in 35 balls with eight fours and five sixes, while Shikhar Dhawan (32), Virat Kohli (29), and MS Dhoni (24*) played supporting roles.

2. 156 vs England, Southampton, 2013

When Australia and England clashed in the first T20I in Southampton, Aaron Finch created history by becoming the first batter to cross the mark of 150 runs in international T20 cricket. Australia batted first and posted 248/6 in 20 overs. Shane Watson made 37, and Shaun Marsh got 28, but the hero was Aaron Finch.

Finch played 63 balls, hammering 152 runs with 11 fours and an eye-watering 14 sixes in a brutal display of power hitting. This was the first time any batter had crossed the 150-run mark, as Finch broke Brendon McCullum’s record of 123 runs.

Aaron Finch went on to break his own record in the third match of the T20I tri-series in Zimbabwe when they met Australia in Harare in 2018. Australia was put to bat first, and it was all Aaron Finch. He faced a record 76 deliveries out of 120 balls and hammered a record 172 runs.
