Brisbane Heat batter Grace Harris unleashed her furry in the WBBL and slammed the fastest hundred in the history of the tournament. The Aussie cricketer’s 42 ball hundred left Melbourne Stars stunned.
Melbourne Stars had a poor outing against the Heats. Their batting unit failed to come to the party and they scored only 132 runs in 20 overs.
Harris who arrived at the crease as the opener began her onslaught from the word go and finished the game in a hurry.
Courtesy of her sensational hundred the team won the match in the 11th over itself with ten wickets in the kitty.
Harris smashed 13 fours and six sixes in her innings which broke the record for the fastest hundred in the history of the WBBL.
The right-hand batter was ruthless against the Stars’ bowlers who were running out of ideas to contain her.
Stars used seven bowlers but there was no reprieve for the team. You can watch Harris’ record-breaking hundred here-
There was plenty of excitement in the game as Heat needed just one run to win and the right hand batter was playing on 95.
But then she launched one straight down the track to register the fastest hundred of the tournament.
