South African franchises Titans and Knights set a new world record for most runs scored in Twenty20 cricket as they collectively punted 501 in a national provincial game on Monday.
The Titans posted 271 for three in their 20 overs, before the Knights replied with 230 for nine on a day when the bat really overpowered the ball at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.
The previous aggregate record of 497 was set in a match between Otago (249) and Central Districts (248) in New Zealand in 2016.
