On This Day in Cricket
August 13
On This Day in 2024, Gaby Lewis produced one of the finest innings in Ireland's T20I history, blazing 119 from just 75 balls against Sri Lanka. Her sensational century lit up the contest, with Harshitha Madavi replying gamely for Sri Lanka, making 65 off 44 balls in a spirited effort.
The date has also delivered plenty of drama in franchise and international cricket. Back in 2023, Brandon King struck 85 from 55 balls for West Indies against India, while Romario Shepherd claimed 4 for 31 in the same fixture.
Bowlers have long relished August 13, too. In 2013, Sheldon Cottrell grabbed 4 for 20 for the Antigua Hawksbills, a figure matched a decade later in 2023 by Kasun Rajitha's 4 for 20 in the LPL.
