Australia opener Alyssa Healy hit the highest score in women’s Twenty20 internationals with an unbeaten 148 off 61 balls in victory over Sri Lanka.
The wicketkeeper, 29, beat the previous mark of 133 not out set by team-mate Meg Lanning against England in July.
Healy struck 19 fours and seven sixes, bringing up her century off 46 balls as the hosts posted 226-2 in Sydney.
After Sri Lanka could only make 94-7 in reply, Australia won by 132 runs to secure a 3-0 series whitewash.
Healy’s maiden T20 century in her 101st appearance in the format is the fastest by an Australian, and second only in the women’s game to West Indian Deandra Dottin’s 38-ball ton against South Africa in 2010.
