Laura Harris Equals Women's T20 Fastest Fifty With 15-Ball Blitz on Super Smash Debut

Her 52 off 17 powered Otago’s pursuit of 146 to a six-wicket win in 14.5 overs.

Overview

  • Playing her first match for Otago Sparks, Harris arrived at 46 for 2 in the sixth over against Canterbury Magicians.
  • She reached fifty off 15 deliveries and fell soon after for 52 off 17, striking six fours and four sixes.
  • Otago completed the chase with 31 balls to spare, a result that put them top of the points table.
  • The effort matches Marie Kelly’s 2022 domestic mark of a 15-ball fifty, while the fastest T20I fifty stands at 18 balls by Sophie Devine, Phoebe Litchfield and Richa Ghosh.
  • On documented records it ranks among the quickest 50-plus innings in women’s T20s and is one of only three such scores made at a strike rate above 300.
