Ellyse Perry Shines with Record-Breaking Century in Thrilling ODI
In an electrifying performance, Ellyse Perry delivered a scintillating century that highlighted Australia’s commanding 8-371 total in the second ODI against India in Brisbane. Alongside rising star Georgia Voll, who notched her maiden international hundred, Perry led an exceptional batting display that left cricket fans in awe.
On a scorching day at Allan Border Field, Georgia Voll impressed early in just her second international match. The 21-year-old Queenslander displayed poise and precision, crafting a brilliant 101 off 87 balls. Her knock included moments of fortune—surviving a contentious LBW decision via DRS at 64 and a near run-out at 86—but it was her confident strokeplay and partnerships with Phoebe Litchfield and Perry that truly stood out. Voll’s innings ended when she attempted a reverse sweep off Deepti Sharma, but by then, she had etched her name in the record books.

Ellyse Perry, a veteran of the game, was in a class of her own. Smashing a record six sixes in her third ODI century, she shattered Alana King’s Australian record for most sixes in a women’s ODI innings. Perry's explosive 105 off just 72 balls also set a new benchmark as the fastest century against India in women’s ODI history. Her innings was a masterclass in power and precision, featuring seven boundaries in addition to her six towering sixes. Along the way, Perry achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the first cricketer in history to surpass 7000 runs and 300 wickets in international women’s cricket.
Contributions from Litchfield (60 off 63) and Beth Mooney (56 off 44) ensured a comprehensive Australian batting effort, marking their highest ODI total against India. The Indian bowlers faced a challenging day, with young leg-spinner Priya Mishra conceding the most expensive figures in Indian women’s ODI history (1-88). Saima Thakor and debutant Minnu Mani provided some solace with multiple wickets, but the target of 372 appeared monumental.
This dominant Australian performance not only showcased the team’s depth but also positioned them strongly for an unassailable 2-0 series lead. As the cricketing world continues to marvel at Perry’s brilliance and Voll’s rise, the spotlight shifts to the third and final match in Perth, where India faces a daunting task to salvage the series.
