14 – Balls that Pooran needed to complete his fifty, also the fastest in MLC history, breaking the record set by Rovman Powell, off 15 balls, only hours earlier in the Qualifier against Unicorns. Kieron Pollard scored a 17-ball fifty, the fourth-fastest in league history. In the chase, Smith got a 19-ball fifty, making it only the second instance of three fifties coming in fewer than 20 balls in a T20 match. Nepal had three batters with sub-20-ball fifties against Mongolia in 2023.
