Hayley Matthews blasted 182 off 156 balls to power West Indies to a decisive win over Zimbabwe in the first ODI at Harare Sports Club. Her innings also set a string of new marks in women's ODI cricket.
The West Indies captain hit 26 boundaries and two maximums in a dominant innings that now stands as the highest individual score by a West Indian player in women's ODIs. Her 182 is also the sixth-highest individual score in women's ODI history.
Matthews' knock did more than seal the result. It also pushed her past some of the biggest names in the women's game and added two opposition-based batting records to her growing list of milestones.
