Martin Guptill smashed an unbeaten 93 off 30 balls as New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets and 250 balls to spare. In the process, New Zealand achieved the fastest team fifty in ODIs, and Martin Guptill narrowly missed out on making the fastest individual fifties in ODIs. Like it always happens when a crazy innings is played in international cricket, twitter went crazy and there were a lot of reactions. We bring you the best twitter reactions on Martin Guptill’s innings.
One minute silence for those Lankans who wake up early to watch their team play..#NZvSL You need to be more fast people.36 ovrs Srsly

Watching @Martyguptill v Sri Lankan bowlers today was like watching over-competitive Dad playing beach cricket against 8 year old. #NZvSL

Sometimes i wonder if #Guptil in ODIs and Guptil in Tests are doppelgangers #NZvSL @Martyguptill

Just saw the #NZvSL scorecard! Just when we thought AB's 31 ball 100 was a special knock, #Guptill almost got there today! 93* in 30 balls!
