1 Nat Sciver-Brunt<\/a> became the first batter to score a century in the WPL’s short history, with her 100* against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/a>, to end the 1059-day wait of the league.<\/p>\n

The previous highest individual score<\/a> was 99* by Georgia Voll against RCB last year, while Sophie Devine also made 99 against Gujarat Giants (GG) in the inaugural edition in 2023.<\/p>\n

The WPL recorded as many as ten scores in the 90s<\/a> before Sciver-Brunt’s hundred. Monday’s fixture was the 82nd match of the WPL across the four seasons, the longest wait for any T20 franchise league to witness its maiden individual century.<\/p>\n
