Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Batting all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt expressed her delight after becoming the first one to score a century in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) through an unbeaten 57-ball century, guiding Mumbai Indians to a formidable 199/4 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Monday.
“I’ve seen a few players get out in the 90s, so I didn’t want to replicate that. But I also wanted to get as many runs for the team. Really pleased that we could get up to that total, personally really happy as well,” said Nat in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.
After 1059 days and 82 matches, the WPL finally witnessed its first centurion, and fittingly, it was achieved by Sciver-Brunt, who also registered her maiden T20 hundred. Walking in early, she absorbed the pressure before shifting gears with sublime strokeplay and sizzling timing to dismantle the RCB attack in an unbeaten 57-ball century laced with 16 fours and a six.
