Sydney (Australia): A couple of years after retiring from International cricket, Lizelle Lee played a scintillating knock in the Women’s Big Bash League to script her name in the record books. A whirlwind knock from the 32-year-old helped Hobart Hurricanes to decimate Perth Scorchers by 72 runs in the match 21 of the tournament. An impressive knock from Lee saw her shattering several records as she carved a carnage at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on November 10.
Lee became the first batter to smash 12 maximums in a Women’s T20 match and broke the record of Grace Harris (11) to hit most sixes in a T20 innings. Also, with her knock of 150 runs, Lee shattered Harris’ record for the highest individual score in the Women’s Big Bash League. Harris held the record previously with a knock of 136 Not Out against Scorchers last year.
One for the history books!
