Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland has ascended to new heights with a rare feat that she accomplished during Australia's ongoing One-Off Test match against South Africa at the WACA Ground. Annabel scored her double hundred to become the fastest batter to reach 200 in the history of Women’s Tests. 

Annabel got to her spectacular double ton off 248 balls, being the only fastest batter to create this record.
