Annabel Sutherland shatters multiple records with sensational double ton in Perth Test

In Perth, Australia, on the second day of the one-off Test match between Australia Women and South Africa Women, all-rounder Annabel Sutherland produced an incredible display of skill and determination, smashing multiple records and tipping the scales heavily in favour of the home side.

When Sutherland returned to the field at 54 with Australia at 251/5, she shown amazing tenacity and resolve. Along with reaching her second Test century, Sutherland accomplished much more with Ashleigh Gardner as a partner. The relationship between the two was vital; Gardner pitched a disciplined innings before leaving after 65 runs.

Annabel Sutherland scored more than 200 runs, demonstrating that her amazing knock didn’t end with a century. She made history by being the first batter in Women’s Test Cricket history to reach 200 at No. 6 in the process. Not only that, but at No. 6 she also beat the record for the highest individual score in Women’s Test Cricket history.

Sutherland’s outstanding effort also earned her a spot in the elite group of female cricket players who have scored a double century in Test matches. Remarkably, prior to Sutherland, only eight previous female cricket players had scored 200 runs in a Test match. She became the second youngest player to achieve a double ton in women’s test cricket and even cracked the top five highest scoring list for Australia.

Sutherland’s record tumbling knock left the cricketing world in awe of her talent and skill, with fans showering huge praise on the young Aussie all-rounder.
