Nat Sciver-Brunt was hailed as “unbelievable” after her record-breaking century propelled England to an 89-run over Sri Lanka .

The England captain became the first batter to record a fifth hundred in ICC Women’s World Cup history as she fired a magnificent 117 off as many deliveries. Sciver-Brunt also took two wickets as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 164 and England secured their third consecutive win.

Commenting on her match-winning innings, Tammy Beaumont, who scored 32 off 29 balls, said of Sciver-Brunt: “She is just unbelievable. She doesn’t seem to feel pressure when she is batting.

“She started off aggressively when the ball was skidding on, and then stayed composed and shuffled that lower order. It shows how good she is, and how lucky we are to have her in the team.”
