Delhi Capitals team was batting first in this match. Shabnam Ismail came to bowl the third over for Mumbai Indians. In front of him was Delhi captain Meg Lanning. During this time, Shabnam bowled a full length ball to Meg Lanning and this ball went straight to her pad. An appeal for LBW was made but the umpire rejected it.
Meanwhile, after the end of the innings, Ismail was asked if this was her fastest bowling so far, and the 35-year-old bowler said that she does not watch the big screen while bowling. “When I am bowling, I don’t look at the big screen,” Ismail said while speaking to JioCinema.
Shabnam Ismail has bowled the fastest ball in international cricket.
Apart from bowling the fastest ball in the WPL, Ismail also holds the record for bowling the fastest ball in international women’s cricket. She had earlier bowled the ball at a speed of 128 km/h against West Indies in 2016 and achieved the speed of 127 km/h twice during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2022. However, she had never crossed the 130 km/h barrier before, which turned against Delhi.
As far as Shabnam Ismail’s performance is concerned, she gave 46 runs in four overs and Delhi scored 192 runs in the first innings. Lanning and Shafali gave a good start and later Rodriguez capitalized on it. Let us tell you that Shafali scored 28 runs in 12 balls to give an excellent start to Delhi, while Lanning scored 53 runs in 38 balls. Whereas Jemima scored 69* runs on 33 balls and took Delhi to a big score.
