Sutherland batted brilliantly on the second day of the match, where he hit some brilliant shots to enthrall the visitors and dominate the opposition bowling attack. After resuming his innings while remaining unbeaten on 54, he took on the bowlers and scored quickly to complete his second Test century.
After the lunch break, Sutherland resumed on 113 and continued to attack a tired South African bowling attack and passed 150 shortly after drinks. No one could stop the 22-year-old Victorian and she kept moving ahead and was successful in touching the 200 mark. She completed her double century in 248 balls, which is the fastest double century in women’s Test cricket.
Annabel Sutherland created history by scoring a double century
Before Sutherland, Australia’s Karen Rolton held the record for scoring the fastest double century in women’s Test cricket. He completed a double century in 306 balls against England in 2001. During this time, Annabel Sutherland also became the youngest Australian woman to score a double century. Sutherland scored 210 runs in this match and became the second highest run-scorer for Australia in Tests.
All-rounder Annabel Sutherland became the ninth female batsman in the world to score a double century in Tests, while becoming the second female cricketer to reach this milestone for Australia. Former India captain Mithali Raj was the only young player to score double 200 in Tests, scoring 214 at the age of 19. Sutherland earlier became the first woman to score two centuries while batting at No. 6 or lower.
