Short blasted 23 sixes and 15 fours in his innings, which fell just 11 runs short of the highest ever list-A score. With just under five overs left to play in his side's innings, Short was stumped but had done the damage to lead his team to a competitive total.

The world record one-day score is the 268 from 160 balls Englishman Ali Brown smashed for Surrey against Glamorgan in England's domestic competition in 2002.
