In women's cricket, Rwanda's Fanny Utagushimaninde has become the youngest centurion in Women's T20I history. Utagushimaninde, an opening batsman for Rwanda, scored 111 not out off 65 balls against Ghana in the Nigeria Invitational Women's T20I Tournament. Making her debut at the age of 15 years and 223 days, Utagushimaninde reached her century in the 18th over of the innings. This surpassed the record previously held by Uganda's Prosscovia Alako, who was 16 years and 233 days old when she scored a century against Mali in 2019. Utagushimaninde's unbeaten 111 was also the highest score by a female player on their T20I debut, surpassing Australia's Karen Rolton, who scored an unbeaten 96 against England in 2005.
Building on Utagushimaninde's record-breaking innings, Rwanda posted 210 for 3 in 20 overs and restricted Ghana to just 88 for 8, securing a massive 122-run victory.
