Voll leads Thunder to record win over Strikers
- Published
Georgia Voll smashed 92 from just 55 balls as Sydney Thunder beat Adelaide Strikers by 64 runs in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).
It was Voll's highest-ever score and Thunder's biggest win in terms of runs in the competition's 10-year history.
Her sparkling innings included 12 fours and three sixes in just her third WBBL match for Thunder since moving from Brisbane Heat.
Captain Phoebe Litchfield hit 49 from 31 deliveries and England skipper Heather Knight added 28 from 15 as Thunder posted 212-5, their highest-ever WBBL total and the joint-third highest by any team.
Spinner Sam Bates then took a career-best 4-21 and Shabnim Ismail 3-18 as two-time defending champions Strikers were skittled out 148.
The win moves Thunder top of the early WBBL table, with Strikers down in seventh after losing two of their opening three games.
In the day's other match, Melbourne Stars beat Sydney Sixers by 32 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in a rain-affected tie.
Meg Lanning and Rhys McKenna both hit half-centuries for the Stars.
