Cricket can provide some captivating individual performances. South African teenage cricketer Shania-Lee Swart pulled off a similar one woman show, scoring 160 in a domestic Women’s Twenty20 game even as the rest of her team failed to add a single run to the team total.
Playing for Mpumalanga under-19 in their match against Easterns under-19 at Pretoria, Swart helped them post 169 for eight in 20 overs, the other nine runs coming from extras.
Swart smashed 12 sixes and 18 fours in her 86-ball effort.
She later scalped two wickets for 21 as his side beat Easterns by 42 runs to clinch a comfortable victory.
Swart’s 160 was the third-best score in T20s after Chris Gayle’s 175 in 2013 and Zimbabwe’s Hamilton Masakadza’s 162 in 2016.
