Harjas Singh Belts Triple Century in Sydney Grade Match as Final Tally Is Disputed

The 20-year-old's knock is being hailed as the highest limited-overs score in Australian first-grade premier cricket, sharpening focus on his push for state selection.

Overview

  • Reports differ on the final figures, with several outlets citing 314 off 141 balls with 35 sixes, while others record 308 not out off 135 with 34 sixes.
  • The innings ranks third on New South Wales Premier first grade’s all-time list behind Victor Trumper’s 335 and Phil Jaques’ 321, and is viewed as the top limited-overs score in Australian first-grade premier cricket.
  • Live online scoring showed inconsistencies during and after the game, which contributed to the conflicting published tallies.
  • Singh accelerated from a hundred off 74 balls to add 214 from his next 67 and called it the cleanest ball-striking of his career in comments to Fox Cricket.
  • The match was a grade fixture without List A status, yet the scale of the performance has renewed attention on Singh’s pathway after he was overlooked for a New South Wales rookie contract despite starring in Australia’s 2024 Under-19 World Cup win.
