Major League Cricket (MLC) side San Francisco Unicorns broke the record for the highest successful chase in T20s when it chased down 266 against MI New York on Thursday.

Unicorns captain Steve Smith led from the front with a whirlwind unbeaten 40-ball century, which helped his side end with 270-4 and chase the target with eight balls to spare.

The Aussie was well supported by USA’s Andries Gous who scored a 52-ball 132 laced with 10 fours and 12 sixes, a performance which earned him the Player of the Match award.

Before today, Punjab Kings held the record for the highest chase in T20s when it chased 265 against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026 season.
