Davina Perrin was the emerging star of last year’s women’s Hundred, smashing a century in just 42 balls in the Eliminator for eventual winners Northern Superchargers. Only Deandra Dottin (38 balls for West Indies against South Africa, 2010) has registered a faster century in women’s T20s.
As you’d expect from a young batter, Perrin does lack consistency, failing to pass the 15 in nine of her 14 innings in The Hundred to date. But her capability to win games should more than make up for it – she also scored 72* off 40 against Trent Rockets last season, effectively sealing two victories in 2025 for the Superchargers.
Prospective franchises could slightly shift her role to allow her to face more spin than pace. In The Hundred she averages 33 against spin, while striking at 146, compared to a 24 average against pace, striking at 121.
