In an action-packed day-night Test at the WACA in Perth, Australia’s all-round star Annabel Sutherland delivered a performance that left fans in awe. She smashed a dazzling century and had already shined with the ball, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in women’s cricket.
All-Round Excellence on Display
Sutherland set the tone early by taking 4 wickets for just 46 runs on day one, helping bowl India out for 198. Her bowling was precise and devastating, putting Australia in control right from the start.
Building a Solid Partnership
When she joined Ellyse Perry at the wicket, the duo stabilized Australia’s innings. They added runs calmly, rotating strike and hitting boundaries to frustrate India’s bowlers. Their stand grew strong before Perry departed, but Sutherland wasn’t done yet.
Century in Style
After Perry’s wicket, Sutherland continued her attack, teaming up with Beth Mooney to push Australia past India’s total. She brought up her hundred in only 133 balls, mixing elegant shots with powerful strokes. This was her fourth Test century, her first against India, and her third consecutive hundred in Test cricket—all scored in Australia where she averages over 100.
Records and Milestones
Sutherland’s knock made history. At just 23, she became the first Australian woman to score four Test centuries. Her three hundreds in a row show she’s in incredible form, and her ability to contribute with both bat and ball is rare and game-changing.
