Australian cricketer Georgia Voll’s record-breaking T20 century vs West Indies

1 hours ago2 articles from 2 sources

Consensus Summary

Georgia Voll made history by scoring the third fastest T20 international century by an Australian woman in 52 balls during Australia’s 3-0 series sweep over West Indies in St Vincent. Her explosive innings of 101 not out—featuring six sixes and aggressive shots against spinners—helped Australia post 211 before rain curtailed West Indies’ chase at 61/3, securing a 40-run DLS victory. Voll’s performance, including a slog sweep six and a boundary off Deandra Dottin, underscored Australia’s fearless approach following Alyssa Healy’s retirement. Supporting batsmen like Sophie Molineux (25 off 12) and Nicola Carey (24 not out) contributed to the top order’s dominance, while bowlers Megan Schutt and Lucy Hamilton stifled West Indies early. The series marked Australia’s final T20 outing before their ODI series against West Indies in St Kitts and preparations for the 2026 World Cup in England, where Voll’s role as a key striker will be crucial. While both sources agree on the core stats, the Guardian provided additional context on Mooney’s century and the dismissal details, which ABC omitted.

Points of Difference

Details reported by only one source:

The Guardian
  • Voll was bowled by Hayley Matthews on the delivery after her century, having hit Deandra Dottin to deep third boundary for her ton
  • Sophie Molineux’s 25 off 12 was described as her first ‘bit of batting or bowling’ for the series
  • Voll’s century was noted as the third fastest *international* T20 century by an Australian woman (including Lanning’s 53-ball century vs Ireland, 2014, and Beth Mooney’s 54-ball century vs Sri Lanka, 2019)
  • Nicola Carey’s performance was framed as helping her ‘push to play ahead of vice-captain Tahlia McGrath in England’
  • Lucy Hamilton (debutant) and Megan Schutt both claimed 2 wickets each (2-11) from two overs before rain
ABC News
  • No additional specific details beyond consensus facts; phrasing slightly varies (e.g., ‘dominant display’ vs ‘blistering T20 ton’)

  • The Guardian notes Voll’s century was the third fastest *international* T20 century by an Australian woman (including Lanning’s 53-ball century vs Ireland), while ABC does not clarify this scope
