Dates follow UTC, the same clock as our daily posts.
On this day in 2019, cricket fans were treated to a remarkable batting duel as two centurions lit up the same T20I between Australia and Sri Lanka. Beth Mooney blazed her way to 113 off 61 balls for Australia, while Sri Lanka's Chamari Atapattu matched her exactly, also reaching 113, off 66 deliveries. Two hundreds in a single match made for an unforgettable spectacle.
The date has seen no shortage of big-hitting milestones. In 2024, Nicolas Pooran struck 101 off 59 balls for Trinbago Knight Riders against Guyana Amazon Warriors in the CPL, while Ross Adair hit exactly 100 off 58 for Ireland against South Africa.
With the ball, Hayden Walsh Jr. led the way, taking 4 for 26 for the Barbados Royals in 2019.
