WBBL 10: From Highest Score to Most Sixes in Innings – Lizelle Lee Breaks Women’s Big Bash League Records

Former South Africa opener Lizelle Lee broke a couple of Women's Big Bash League records during Hobart Hurricanes' 72-run victory over the Perth Scorchers in WBBL 10 on Sunday (November 10) at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney.

Lee smashed an unbeaten 150 off 75 balls and broke a couple of records held by Australia's Grace Harris during the knock that helped Hobart Hurricanes post 203/3 in their allotted 20 overs.

Lee's 150 is now the highest individual score in the Women's Big Bash, surpassing Grace Harris' 136, which the Australian all-rounder scored just over a year ago when turning up for the Brisbane Heat against the Scorchers in North Sydney.

Harris had eclipsed India's Smriti Mandhana and Australia's Ash Gardner's previous highest score tally of 114 runs. Australian captain Alyssa Healy also features in the top 10 highest individual scorers in Women's Big Bash. Here is a look at the list:
