Australian cricketer Laura Harris hit a 15-ball fifty in her debut, setting a new record for fastest woman T20 fifty.

Australian cricketer Laura Harris scored a 15-ball fifty in a Women's Super Smash match on December 28, 2025, becoming the fastest woman to reach 50 runs in T20 cricket, matching England’s Marie Kelly’s 2022 record. Playing for Otago in her debut, Harris smashed 52 off 17 balls, including four sixes and six boundaries, helping her team chase down 146 runs in 14.5 overs for a six-wicket win. She was named Player of the Match. The performance marked a rebound from her recent struggles in the Women's Big Bash League. The fastest T20I fifty remains Sophie Devine’s 18-ball effort from 2015, shared by Phoebe Litchfield and Richa Ghosh.
