Sophie said after the match with Spark Sports, I was very nervous this morning. When you have a long break, you are a little nervous whether you can come back or not. So it was good to spend some time on the field.
Sophie’s century is also the fastest century in the men and women category in New Zealand. He broke Tim Seifert’s record of 40-ball century. Seifert scored this century against Auckland while playing for Northern District at Mount Maunganui in 2017.
