Playing for the Melbourne Stars, the legendary batter produced one of the finest innings of the season, lighting up the North Sydney Oval and sending fans into a frenzy with her stroke-filled masterpiece.

Meg Lanning’s majestic ton stuns the crowd

North Sydney Oval witnessed a special moment when Lanning, known for her consistency and class, reached her second WBBL century. The landmark came on the first ball of the 16th over, when delivered a full-length ball that Lanning stroked to long-off for a single. Though the celebration that followed was composed and graceful, the response around the ground was anything but.

Her teammates rose to their feet to give her a standing ovation, while the crowd erupted in appreciation for a champion who continues to redefine standards in women’s cricket. Lanning acknowledged the applause with her trademark calmness, but the sparkle in her eyes showed just how much the moment meant.

A batting exhibition for the ages

Lanning’s incredible knock of 135 off just 74 deliveries, studded with 22 fours and 4 sixes, was a blend of elegance, power, and precision. Her timing was flawless from the outset, threading gaps, punishing loose deliveries, and rotating strike smartly to maintain momentum.

The Melbourne Stars innings revolved entirely around her as she dictated the tempo, accelerating effortlessly through the middle overs. Every boundary she struck seemed to raise the excitement levels of the crowd, reaffirming her status as one of the greatest batters in the women’s game.

Rhys McKenna provides strong support

While Lanning dominated the headlines, young Rhys McKenna played a valuable supporting role with a composed 50 off 34 balls. Her innings allowed the Stars to keep the score moving at a brisk pace and ensured that the pressure remained on the Sixers bowlers throughout.

The duo’s partnership laid a perfect platform for a massive total, enabling the Stars to end with a commanding 219/4 in 20 overs—one of the highest totals of the season.
