Chennai/IBNS, Feb. 17 -- Canada's Yuvraj Samra on Tuesday became the first player from an associate nation to score a century in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Samra smashed 110 off just 65 balls to power Canada to 173/4 in 20 overs against New Zealand, who must win the match to qualify for the Super 8 stage.

The 19-year-old also registered the second century of the ongoing edition of the tournament.

On Monday, Pathum Nissanka scored a blistering 100 off 52 balls to guide Sri Lanka to an eight-wicket win over Australia, pushing the defending champions to the brink of elimination.
