Lizelle Lee scored 75-ball 150 in the WBBL. (X | WBBL)
South African big basher Lizelle Lee went absolutely ballistic, smashing a record making an unbeaten 150 in the Women’s Big Bash League at Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Here’s a look at the stunning numbers that highlighted the innings in women’s feanchise cricket as Hurricanes found an eponymous hitter who helped them win by 72 runs.
150*
It was the highest score in the WBBL, coming in the 21st match of the season, breaking the previous mark of 136 not out set by Grace Harris last year. 150* was incidentally the highest score by a batter in all T20s from a full member nation, and it came in 75 deliveries and 79 minutes.
One for the history books!
Lizelle Lee’s WBBL record 150* included 12 ridiculous sixes 😱

200
Lee’s strike rate during the record making score. While women’s cricket is often criticised for its strike rates that are deemed not bashing enough, only 1 of the top 10 six-hitting innings have dropped under SR of 200. Sophie Devine once struck at 318.18 against India in a 22-ball 70 with 8 sixes.
51
The number of balls it took for Lee to reach her century after she came in to bat with Hurricanes on 16/2 in the third over. Lee was once dropped on 63.
12
The number of sixes the 32-year-old hit which ended as a world records in women’s cricket in T20s. Grace Harris and Laura Agatha of Brazil have each hit 11 sixes each.
14 out of 114-run partnership
Lee was so overwhelming in the century stand of 114 off 65 balls that partner Elyse Villani contributed only 14 of those runs.
0 for 53 off 4 overs
Those were the unfortunate figures of Ebony Hoskin against whom Lee smacked her first two sixes and did another back-to-back 6s in her last over.
203
Hurricanes ended with their second-highest total in the WBBL as Scorchers went down by 72.
Numb & Numbers
And to think that Lizelle Lee reckons she didn’t even middle everything. The bespectacled South African has only a top score of 38 in five earlier WBBLs this season. Cricinfo quoted her as saying, “It’s one of those days, I won’t say everything came off the middle because it didn’t, but things just went my way.”
