Lee’s knock surpassed the previous record of 136 set by Brisbane Heat’s Grace Harris last year, with her 12 sixes also setting a new benchmark for the Twenty20 competition.

Lee’s explosive innings marked a remarkable turnaround, coming after she had managed only 71 runs in her previous five WBBL innings this season.

“I have to give credit to everybody in our team that kept on believing in me and when I was doubting myself and crying, and couldn’t stop, they were there,” she told Australia’s Channel Seven.

Lee’s brilliant knock powered the Hurricanes to a total of 203/3 in their 20 overs, while the Scorchers were bowled out for just 131 in response.
