Australian women’s cricket star Annabel Sutherland achieved a feat never before achieved by a female player in the history of Test cricket yesterday. She achieved this feat on the second day of the ongoing Test match against India.
The historic Test match between India and Australia women’s teams is underway in Melbourne, Australia. In this, Australian all-rounder Annabelle Sutherland has shown her incredible performance. Annabelle has created a historic record by becoming the first player in the history of women’s Test cricket to score 3 centuries in 3 consecutive innings.
He overwhelmed the Indian bowlers and scored a stunning 129 runs in just 171 balls with 17 boundaries. The fact that he is displaying such maturity in Test cricket at the age of just 24 has amazed the cricketing world.
Annabelle Sutherland has been a run machine in recent matches: she hit a double century (210 runs) in a Test against South Africa last year, setting a record for the fastest double century by a woman. She has now continued her dominance by scoring a century against India.
With Annabelle’s century, Australia is on course to reach a Himalayan target in the first innings. With the Indian women’s team struggling to take wickets, Annabelle’s wicket has become a key factor in determining the course of the game.
