New Zealand‘s woman cricketer Sophie Devine was in a breathtaking form as she took to the field in the Women’s Super Smash T20 tournament in a game between Otago Women and Wellington Women. She scored a blistering century in the game as her innings ended up on 108 runs off just 38 balls.
Sophie Devine smashed the fastest hundred in the history of women’s T20 cricket. Her knock was studded with 9 fours and 9 sixes as Wellington Women cruised to the target of 129 runs in just 8.4 overs. The fact that Sophie scored more than 83% of the entire chase herself, goes on to show the fashion in which she scored those runs.

However, Sophie’s moment of joy turned out to be a young fan’s misery. Sophie reached her hundred with a six but the same ball landed right on the head of a young girl who was in the stands watching the game. As soon as the game came to a close, Sophie Devine rushed to the girl to check if she was okay or not.

It was noted that the young girl was absolutely fine and she did not suffer any major blow to her head. Sophie Devine then made the fan’s day by sitting alongside her and clicking some pictures with her. Indeed, it might have been one of the best days for the young girl, who, despite being hit on the head, went home happily.
