Super Smash: Sophie Devine thwacks fastest-ever Women’s T20 century; gets clicked with young fan afterwards

Sophie Devine thwacks fastest-ever Women’s T20 century: New Zealand captain achieved the field in a domestic T20 tournament.

During the 15th match of the ongoing season of New Zealand Cricket Women’s Twenty20 between Otago Women and Wellington Women in Dunedin, Wellington Women opening batswoman Sophie Devine scored a 36-ball century to register the fastest-ever T20 century in women’s cricket.

Opening the batting with captain Maddy Green (20*), Devine made a mockery of a 129-run target as her heroic efforts powered Wellington Women to a victory in the ninth over.

Having begun her onslaught with a couple of boundaries off Emma Black in the second over, Devine hit as many as three sixes and two fours against Hayley Jansen in the following over to confirm her intentions at the University Oval.

Having raced to 66* (26) in the powerplay, Devine welcomed Otago Women’s Marina Lamplough into the attack by hitting three sixes. It was on the second delivery of the ninth over that Devine hit her ninth six to complete a record ton.

Devine, 31, ended up scoring 108* (38) which also comprised of nine fours to allure plentiful accolades from the cricketing fraternity. Devine, whose one big hit had hit a young fan in the stadium, went on to check on her and even got clicked with her to make her day.
