Ismail Breaks Fastest Ball Speed Record

Former South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail is unarguably one of the fastest bowlers in women's cricket. The 35 year old retired from international cricket in 2023 and is currently a part of the Mumbai Indians franchise in the ongoing Women's Premier League.

In last night's WPL match of the Mumbai Indians versus the Delhi Capitals, Shabnim Ismail clocked 132.1 Kmph, the fastest delivery ever recorded in Women's cricket. This was the first time that a bowler breached the 130 Kmph mark in women's cricket history. She ended with figures of 1/46 in 4 overs.

Ismail said that she doesn't "look at the big screen when I am bowling."
