Colin Munro (born 11 March 1987 in Durban, South Africa) is a cricketer. He was a member of the New Zealand Under 19 side and is currently a member of the Auckland cricket team. As of 2016, he plays for New Zealand in Twenty20 and One Day Internationals.
Munro attended Maidstone Primary School in Tongaat and after moving to New Zealand, attended Pakuranga College and played in the school's 1st XI cricket team. Munro represented New Zealand in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup held in Sri Lanka in 2006.
In 2012-13 he and Craig Cachopa added 377 runs for the sixth wicket against the Wellington Firebirds in the Plunket Shield and falling two runs shy of the sixth wicket partnership record. He scored the second highest score for the Auckland Aces of 269 unbeaten with 27 fours and 14 sixes behind Bill Carson's record score of 290 set back in 1936/37.
He was selected for the New Zealand Test Cricket team to play South Africa in the 2nd Test of the NZ team's tour after an injury to James Franklin. This made him New Zealand Test Cricketer number #258. In 2016, after becoming the top scorer in the domestic T20 competition, where he bats at no.3, there were hopes for him to cement that spot before the ICC World T20, given Brendon McCullum's international retirement before the tournament.
Munro was added to the series against Sri Lanka, after a great domestic season. He played the last ODI and 2 T20Is in the series. In the second T20I at Eden Park, Munro recorded the second fastest T20I 50 of all time in 14 balls, with seven sixes. This is also the fastest fifty by a New Zealander in this format, beating the previous record set by Martin Guptill (50 from 19 balls) just 20 minutes before. He was adjudged man of the match for this performance. On 6 January 2017 he became the third player for New Zealand to score a T20I hundred.
