In a historic first-ever women's Test match between Australia and South Africa at the WACA Ground, Annabel Sutherland delivered an unforgettable performance, scoring a double century. Her innings of 210 runs not only helped Australia to declare but also marked her as the fifth Australian woman to achieve a Test double century, joining the ranks of Ellyse Perry, Karen Rolton, Michelle Goszko, and Joanne Broadbent. Sutherland's knock came amidst a dominant display by Australia, with the team posting over 500 runs and Sutherland herself hitting 20 boundaries. South Africa, on the other hand, struggled throughout their innings, being bowled out for their lowest Test total at 46/6, with Darcie Brown taking a five-for. The match also saw Annabel Sutherland achieving the second-highest score by an Australian woman in Test cricket, just short of Ellyse Perry's record. Notably, only Mithali Raj has scored a double century in women's Test at a younger age than Annabel Sutherland.
