DUNEDIN: New Zealand captain Sophie Devine hit the fastest century in women’s Twenty20 history on Thursday, taking just 36 balls to reach 100 in a domestic match in Dunedin.
Devine tore apart the Otago Sparks bowling attack, hitting nine sixes and seven fours to set up a 10-wicket win for her Wellington Blaze side. She then capped her innings with two fours to finish with an unbeaten 108 off 38 balls.
The innings beat previous record holder Deandra Dottin’s 38-ball effort for the West Indies in South Africa in 2010.
