Nat Sciver-Brunt: Didn’t want to replicate other players by getting out in 90s | Cricket News

Nat Sciver-Brunt said she didn’t want to replicate other players by getting out in the 90s after she on Monday became the first cricketer in the Women’s Premier League history to score a century in four editions. The England captain struck 16 fours and a six to make exactly 100 not out off only 57 balls to power Mumbai Indians to 199 for four. Mumbai later survived an onslaught from India’s Richa Ghosh (90 off 50 balls; 10 fours and 6 sixes) to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 15 runs. “I’ve seen a few players get out in the 90s, so I didn’t want to replicate that. But I also wanted to get as many runs for the team,” Sciver-Brunt told the broadcaster. “It’s obviously a special moment to reach that milestone, but more importantly, it was about getting runs on the board for the team. “These last two games are pretty much knockout games for us, so to be able to perform like that and to build such a strong partnership with Hayley Matthews …

Sciver-Brunt scores WPL’s first-ever century to lead MI to win over table-toppers RCB and boost their playoff hopes. A monster middle overs partnership — one that saw the Women’s Premier League’s first-ever century come from the bat of England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt — followed by table toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) losing their top-order for 40 runs, allowed Mumbai Indians to pump life into their playoff hopes on Monday in Vadodara. Nat stabilises, then smashes When MI skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said at the toss she would have fielded if she won, the thought tracked with the Vadodara pitch that has seen the ball coming on to the bat slowly. That thought may have gained further weight when Mumbai struggled to get out of the blocks – a persistent issue this season – and produced only 38 from the powerplay overs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Richa Ghosh struck a 50-ball 90 but it wasn’t enough.
