Shabnim Ismail made history by bowling the fastest delivery ever recorded in women’s cricket. During a Women’s Premier League (WPL) match between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Shabnim bowled a quick delivery at a speed of 132.1km/h (82.08mph). This marked the first time in women’s cricket that a delivery exceeded the 130km/h barrier.

The record-breaking delivery was on the second ball of the third over, where Ismail’s lightning-fast delivery struck the pad of former Australia captain Meg Lanning. Notably, Shabnim Ismail had been part of team South Africa in all 8 previous ICC Women’s T20 World Cups before retiring from international cricket after the last year’s tournament held in her home country.

Before this historic achievement, Ismail’s fastest recorded delivery was at 128km/h (79.54mph) against the West Indies in 2016, and she had reached speeds of 127km/h twice during the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2022.

Despite her record-breaking feat, Shabnim Ismail was modest during a post-match interview, stating that she doesn’t pay attention to the big screen while bowling. But, her outstanding performance didn’t secure a victory for her team, as Shabnim Ismail conceded 46 runs in four overs, ultimately resulting in a 29-run defeat for the Mumbai Indians against the Delhi Capitals in Delhi.
