O'Brien took just 50 balls to reach three figures in the Group B match, having arrived at the crease with the score at 106 for four in pursuit of England's 327 for eight, which his side passed in the final over.
The carnage included eight sixes and 13 fours, eclipsing Matthew Hayden's 66-ball century for Australia against South Africa in 2007.
On 23 February against the West Indies, Davison scored 111 runs off 76 balls, the first 100 of which were scored off 67 balls - the fastest century in World Cup history at the time[6], and one of the fastest in ODI history. In his innings, he hit 6 sixes and 8 fours before eventually falling to a spectacular backwards-leaping catch at the boundary by Vasbert Drakes having attempted to score yet another six.
