The Women’s Ashes 2023 began with a one-off Test on June 22 in Nottingham.
Batting first, Australia reached 328/7 at stumps on Day 1 with Ellyse Perry being the top-scorer.
Perry was looking well set en-route to her impressive century.
However, the Aussie star was unfortunately dismissed on 99 falling one short of what could be a tremendous ton.
Perry became only the fourth women cricketer to be dismissed on 99.
Here is a full list:
Betty Snowball (England)
Former English opener Betty Snowball was the first women cricketer to be dismissed on 99. She got run out in the 3rd Test at the Oval in 1937 against Australia.
Jill Kennare (Australia)
Former Aussie captain Jill Kennare got out caught and bowled to India’s Shubhangi Kulkarni in 1984 at Wankhede Stadium on 99 in 1984.
