Ind vs Aus Semifinal: 22 year old batsman Phoebe Litchfield scored a record-breaking century in the Women's World Cup semi-final between India and Australia. This left-handed batsman scored a century in just 77 balls and became the youngest player to score a century at such a fast pace in the World Cup. Phoebe Litchfield scored 119 runs in 93 balls and hit 17 fours and 3 sixes. Lichfield hit a surprising six in his innings which has become a topic of discussion on social media. While playing a switch hit shot, Lichfield hit this six which went very far.
Lichfield hit this six on the ball of Deepti Sharma in the 27th over. On Deepti Sharma's ball, Lichfield changed hands and turned to the right and hit a very long six. Let us tell you that such a shot is usually seen in men's cricket but the fans are surprised to see the six on Lichfield's switch hit. By the way, an important reason for Lichfield hitting a six in this way is that she has been a hockey player. She has the power to generate power with both hands.
Litchfield was born on 18 April 2003 in New South Wales. She is a resident of Lucknow, a small town there. There he learned the art of cricket and at a very young age he caught the attention of the selectors with his batting. Lichfield used to play cricket only with men till the age of 14 where people were surprised to see her strokes. At the age of 16, she had also faced the balls of Brett Lee and Wasim Akram. In the year 2020, she was in Ricky Ponting's XI team in the Bushfire Relief Cricket Bash. Now Lichfield has done wonders in the very first World Cup.
