18-year-old Davina Perrin slammed a 42-ball century on August 30 (Saturday) at The Oval in The Women's Hundred 2025 against the London Spirit Women in the Eliminator to become only the second player to score a century in the tournament. Before her, only Tammy Beaumont had scored a ton in the completion's history, when she hit 118 off just 61 deliveries against the Trent Rockets Women in 2023.
The Northern Superchargers Women batter slammed 15 fours and five sixes as she was eventually run out at the non-striker's end for 101 off just 43 deliveries, striking at 234.88. She did the bulk of the scoring in the opening partnership of 105 off 49 balls with Davidson Richards, who scored just 18 off 15, playing a perfect second fiddle to the youngster.
Only Harry Brook (41 balls) has scored a ton quicker than Perrin in The Hundred, across both men's and women's competitions.
Before today, she had managed just one fifty in eight innings. In fact, she failed to go into double figures in her previous three matches, but the Superchargers persisted with the teenager, and it paid off.
Her efforts today saw the Superchargers reach 214/5, which is the first 200-plus total in the competition's history. Overall, Perrin has 243 runs in this edition of The Hundred so far, scoring at an impressive strike rate of 139.65.
She entered the competition at the back of a sublime hundred in ECB Women's One-Day Cup for Warwickshire against Surrey at Edgbaston.
