New Delhi . Former South African fast bowler Shabnim Ismail, who played for Mumbai Indians in the WPL, created history by bowling the fastest ball ever in women’s cricket.

On Tuesday, an exciting match was played between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Shabnim, while bowling for Mumbai, bowled the ball at a speed of 132.1 kilometers per hour. This is the fastest ball ever bowled by any player in the history of women’s cricket.

Shabnim made this record on the second ball of the third over of the match. Capitals captain Meg Lanning faced this dangerous ball. However, Lanning missed playing this ball, this ball hit the front pad.

This player, who retired from international cricket last year, has many big records in her name. The fastest ball in international cricket is also recorded in the name of Ismail, he bowled the ball at a speed of 128 km per hour against West Indies in 2016.

However, Ismail, who came into limelight for his fast pace, proved to be a bit costly for his team in this match.

If we talk about the match, Delhi Capitals, batting first, scored 192/4. In reply, Mumbai team could score only 163/8 runs in 20 overs, thus Delhi got victory by 29 runs.
