UP Warriorz’s Chinelle Henry smashed an 18-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals in a league game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday.
This is the joint-fastest half century in the league’s history, tied with Sophia Dunkley’s 18-ball effort for Gujarat Giants against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the inaugural edition of the league.
The West Indies allrounder’s blitz helped UP Warriorz finish with a competitive 171 after looking behind the curve for majority of the match.
It took a scintillating catch from Jemimah Rodrigues to remove Henry, but Delhi could only manage that off the last ball of the innings, well after all the damage was done.
