DC vs MI WPL 2023, 3 records that might be destroyed in today’s game

#1 In T20s, Nat Sciver-Brunt could hit 550 fours

Natalie Sciver-Brunt, who was the joint-most expensive international signing of the competition ($3.20 crore), is renowned for her powerful strokeplay and striking prowess.

The Englishwoman has played in two games of the current WPL 2023 and scored 78 runs at a strike rate of 166.

The 30-year-old has a total T20 score of 2,838 runs, with 544 boundaries and 46 sixes. Sciver-Brunt would need six more boundaries to reach 550 in T20 cricket. The MI batter will only become the second England women’s batter, after Daniel Wyatt, to hit more than 550 boundaries in T20s if she manages to slam six fours on Thursday.

#2 In T20 franchise cricket, Hayley Matthews might score 2000 runs

To now, Hayley Matthews has excelled in WPL 2023. The Caribbean captain has 124 runs for MI in two games with a strike rate of around 180.

Matthews, 24, will reach 2000 T20 runs in franchise cricket if he scores 53 more runs in tonight’s game against DC. Over 106 T20 innings, she has so far scored 1,947 runs at an average of 20.07. (franchise cricket only).

#3 Meg Lanning has a chance to become the first woman to ever score three consecutive T20 half-centuries

Meg Lanning has hit 142 runs with a respectable strike rate of 167.06, making her arguably the most complete batter in the competition.

The captain of DC has scored a half-century in each of her two games so far and isn’t going to back down from hitting another one against Mumbai.

Become the first female cricketer to hit three straight T20 fifties five times if Lanning manages to strike another half-century tonight in T20 cricket.

The legendary Australian player has already scored three back-to-back T20 fifties on four different occasions in the Women’s Big Bash League.
