Lucy Hamilton Becomes Youngest Bowler To Take Fifer In WBBL
U19 T20 World Cup: Fast-bowler Lucy Hamilton has become the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul in the history of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). Lucy has achieved this feat at 18 years and 193 days while picking 5-8 for Brisbane Heat in their clash against Melbourne Stars on Sunday.
Pushed into batting first, Stars had a decent start till Lucy, who hadn’t taken a wicket in the WBBL before, had other ideas to turn the game around. She began her stunning show in the fifth over by castling wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia (8) and having captain Annabel Sutherland (21) caught out in the span of three balls.
She then returned to the bowling attack in ninth over by having Meg Lanning (13) nicking behind to keeper Georgia Redmayne, before dismissing Tess Flintoff (7) in the 11th over. Lucy completed her five-for in the 15th over by trapping Deepti Sharma lbw with a slower delivery, and end up with 5-8, including a maiden over.
