In Tuesday’s Women’s Premier League (WPL) match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, Shabnim Ismail bowled the fastest delivery in women’s cricket at the best online cricket betting sites South Africa 2024.
While bowling with Delhi captain Meg Lanning, Ismail, a former Proteas Women pacer, reached a speed of 132.1 km/h. It hit her front pad before an appeal for lbw was dismissed.
“I don’t really look at the big screen when I bowl,” Ismail said in her post-match interview.
Delhi ended the game at 192 for four, while Mumbai lost the game by 29 runs after Ismail blocked a quick-fire shot by Shafali Verma.
In an interview with Sky Sports in 2022, English bowler Issy Wong said that in the future, bowling speeds of 80 miles per hour (129 km per hour) will become “normal”. She added:
“Someone will reach that speed and it will be normal, I think. It could be anyone. If you’ve got the wind at your back and you’re running downhill and there’s a little bit of dew, it can help.”
