Edwards became the first women’s cricketer to score 5,075 runs in ODIs. This is Edwards’ second century of this edition of the World Cup and she joins Australia’s Karen Rolton and New Zealand’s Debbie Hockley as the only three women to have scored two centuries in a single World Cup. She also equalled Debbie Hockley’s record of four centuries in Women’s World Cups.
