Chinelle Henry's Rapid Fire: Ties Fastest Fifty Record in WPL Clash

Chinelle Henry equaled the record for the fastest fifty in the Women's Premier League, scoring 62 off 23 balls with eight sixes and two fours. Her explosive batting helped UP Warriorz set a 178-run target for Delhi Capitals after initially struggling at 91 for six in 14 overs.

In a thrilling Women's Premier League encounter, Chinelle Henry stole the spotlight by equaling the record for the fastest fifty in the tournament on Saturday. Playing for UP Warriorz, Henry smashed 62 runs off just 23 balls, including eight sixes and two fours, to help her team set a 178-run target for Delhi Capitals.

Coming in at a precarious 91 for six after 14 overs, the West Indies cricketer's fireworks provided a crucial boost for UPW. Henry's half-century in merely 18 balls equaled Sophia Dunkley's record and pulled her team out of potential peril.

Despite a challenging start on a fresh pitch at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, which saw significant early wickets including Deepti Sharma (13) and Tahlia McGrath (24), Henry's contribution ensured her team ended on a competitive total. Delhi Capitals' bowlers, led by Jess Jonassen's 4/31, struggled to contain her momentum.
