Top 10 fastest ODI fifties in cricket History

Fastest ODI fifties are the foundation of a something out of the box in cricket history. Though the preference has always been given to the fastest ODI hundreds. Forget not these speedy innings would never have been the same if it was not for the fastest fifties. Simply, you cannot rise any higher if your base is not solid enough. Fastest ODI fifties are indeed the initial footings of how an inning will rose up gradually. Unsurprisingly, the names for the fastest ODI fifties are the ones universally considered to be. More importantly, some of them even feature in the fastest ODI century list as well.

On top of the list is current fastest ODI ton record holder AB de Villiers. The South African skipper might appear a pure gentleman off the ground but while batting he is the most cruel person ever. The same match that saw him notching up the fastest ODI ton also witnessed the fastest ODI fifty. AB de Villiers reached off his hundred on just 31 balls while fifty runs came in 16 balls that day. Second to AB de Villiers is Sanath Jayasuriya. The former Sri Lankan opener was amongst the trend sitters of attacking game in limited overs cricket. Interestingly Jayaeuriya also comes up in the fastest century list as well. Pakistani star all-rounder Shahid Afridi features more than one time in fastest ODI fifties list.
