Lizelle Lee, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter from South Africa, has been in exceptional form this season in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2024, showcasing her extraordinary talent for the Hobart Hurricanes. Her recent innings have not only thrilled fans but have also set new benchmarks in the competition, cementing her reputation as a force to be reckoned with in women’s cricket.
Making WBBL history with consecutive tons
In an exciting matchup against the Adelaide Strikers, Lee became the first player to achieve the milestone of back-to-back centuries in WBBL history. This incredible feat came on the heels of her impressive unbeaten 150-run knock just days prior, which broke the previous WBBL record for the highest individual score. Picking up exactly where she left off, Lee dominated the Strikers’ bowlers, smashing an aggressive 103 off just 59 balls. Her innings included 13 stunning boundaries and four massive sixes, underscoring her ability to command the field and thrill spectators.
The bat-breaking no-look six that stole the show
While Lee’s explosive strokes throughout the innings had the crowd on their feet, one shot in particular captivated everyone watching. In the second over of the Hurricanes’ innings, facing Orla Prendergast, Lee spotted a fuller ball outside off and seized the moment. With incredible timing, she sent the ball soaring for a no-look six straight down the ground without even lifting her head. The power behind the hit was so tremendous that her bat broke on impact, though the ball still sailed effortlessly over the boundary line. The breathtaking shot showcased her raw power and perfect technique, leaving onlookers and commentators stunned.
