On This Day in 2021, Sophie Devine lit up the WBBL with a commanding 101 off 60 balls for Perth Scorchers against Sydney Thunder. She had support from the ball too, with Alana King claiming 4 for 11 in the same contest, making it a memorable day for the Scorchers against the Thunder.
A year later in 2022, Amanda-Jade Wellington produced a stunning spell for Adelaide Strikers against Melbourne Renegades, taking 5 for 8 — one of the finest WBBL bowling returns.
The date also belongs to Kolkata Knight Riders' 2020 IPL win over Delhi Capitals, where Varun Chakravarthy spun out 5 for 20 and Pat Cummins chipped in with 3 for 17, while Nitish Rana top-scored with 81 off 53.
