Disha Kasat hits 10 sixes in unbeaten 91 as Vidarbha beat Delhi in Senior Women's T20 Trophy

Disha Kasat became the first Indian batter to hit 10 sixes in a Women’s T20 innings when she scored an unbeaten 91 off 54 balls to lead Vidarbha to an eight-wicket win over Delhi in the Super League stage of the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy at Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Delhi, having elected to bat, posted 169 for five. Tanisha Singh top-scored with a 50-ball 78 that included 12 fours, while Shweta Sehrawat made 33 off 26 and Priya Punia contributed 24; Soni Yadav added 13 off three deliveries. Yashshri Soley was Vidarbha’s most successful bowler, finishing with figures of two for 34.

Kasat finished 91 not out off 54 balls, striking two fours and 10 sixes, and steered Vidarbha to the 170-run target with 15 balls to spare.

She shared a 106-run partnership with Mona Meshram, who remained unbeaten on 43 off 24 balls, and their stand ensured Vidarbha crossed the line comfortably.

Kasat’s ten sixes moved her past Shafali Verma’s Indian record of nine sixes in an innings; Verma had hit nine against Bangladesh in the Asian Games during her maiden T20I century earlier this year. The overall women’s T20 record remains Lizelle Lee’s 12 sixes for Hobart Hurricanes Women against Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League in Sydney in 2024.

Kasat was previously part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Women’s Premier League and was picked up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 10 lakh at the WPL 2027 auction. Kasat’s record-breaking knock adds another chapter to her growing domestic career.

The 29-year-old will now look to carry her remarkable form into her new stint with Mumbai Indians, having produced one of the most explosive batting performances in Indian women’s domestic T20 cricket.
