Rwanda’s Fanny Utugushimaninde has set a new world record as the youngest player to score a century in international cricket, achieving the feat at just 15 years and 223 days old. She reached the milestone during her debut match at the Nigeria Invitational Women’s T20 Tournament, where she scored a commanding 111 runs against Ghana. Her innings, featuring 17 boundaries off 65 balls, helped Rwanda post a total of 210 for 3 and secure a 122-run victory after Ghana managed only 88 for 8 in 20 overs.
Before Utugushimaninde’s achievement, no woman had ever scored a century on debut in international cricket. The previous best debut score in women’s T20s was 96 not out by Australia’s Karen Rolton. Her record also surpasses Ireland’s Amy Hunter, who previously held the overall youngest international centurion title after scoring 121 on her 16th birthday in 2021. In men’s cricket, Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi had held the youngest centurion record at 16 years and 217 days.
Utugushimaninde’s record-breaking performance marks a historic moment for Rwanda’s women’s cricket and sets a new benchmark for youth achievement in the sport.
