Australia Women’s star all-rounder delivered a sensational performance on Day 2 of the one-off Day-Night Test against India Women at the WACA in Perth, smashing a magnificent century and sending fans into a frenzy on social media.

After making a major impact with the ball on the opening day, Sutherland continued her dominance with the bat, producing a brilliant 133-ball hundred that helped Australia build a commanding position in the match. Her remarkable effort not only strengthened Australia’s lead but also highlighted her growing stature as one of the most influential players in women’s Test cricket.

Bowling brilliance to batting masterclass: Annabel Sutherland produces all-round show

Sutherland had already laid the foundation for Australia’s strong position with the ball on Day 1. The talented all-rounder picked up 4 wickets for 46 runs in 17 overs, playing a key role in restricting India Women to 198 in their first innings.

Australia finished the opening day on 96/3, with experienced batter and Sutherland holding fort at the crease. The duo had already added 38 runs in the final session before stumps, setting up an intriguing Day 2.

When play resumed, the pair continued to build momentum for the hosts. Perry and Sutherland extended their partnership with confident stroke play and smart running between the wickets. The partnership added another 90 runs, putting pressure firmly back on the Indian bowlers.

India finally managed to break the stand when Deepti Sharma dismissed Perry, but by then the damage had already been done. Sutherland remained unfazed and continued to dominate the bowling attack.

Following Perry’s dismissal, Sutherland stitched together another crucial partnership with Beth Mooney, ensuring Australia moved past India’s first-innings total.

The highlight of her innings came when she brought up her century in just 133 balls, a moment that drew loud cheers from the crowd at the WACA. Her knock combined elegance with authority, featuring crisp drives, powerful pulls, and confident footwork against both pace and spin.

The hundred marked several personal milestones for the 23-year-old star. It was Sutherland’s fourth international century in Tests for Australia Women and notably her first against India. Her previous centuries had come against England and South Africa.

Even more impressively, the knock marked her third consecutive Test century, underlining her extraordinary form in the longest format. All three of those centuries have come on Australian soil, where she continues to maintain a remarkable average of over 100.
