WPL 2026: Nat Sciver-Brunt Slams Tournament’s First Century As MI Post 199/4
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Batting all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt etched her name into the record books by becoming the first batter to score a century in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), as she guided Mumbai Indians to a commanding 199/4 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the BCA Stadium, Kotambi, in Vadodara on Monday.
After 1059 days and 82 matches, the WPL finally witnessed its first centurion, and fittingly, it was achieved by England's Sciver-Brunt, who also registered her maiden T20 hundred. Walking in early, she absorbed the pressure before shifting gears with sublime strokeplay and sizzling timing to dismantle the RCB attack in an unbeaten 57-ball century laced with 16 fours and a six.
Partnering with Hayley Matthews, who made a 39-ball 56, Sciver-Brunt ensured the Mumbai Indians surged past the previous highest total at the venue this season. The duo stitched a 131-run stand, with boundaries flowing freely once they settled in. Though Hayley departed after getting her fifty, Nat carried on to reach the magical three-figure mark in the final over.
