In match no. 18 of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2025, a game where UP Warriorz locked horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Warriorz’ batters set the stage on fire with their belligerent intent.
Coming in as a replacement for Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu, who prioritised national duties for the tour of New Zealand, Voll did not enjoy a good outing on her WPL debut as she was dismissed for a duck.
In the very next match, she stitched a 74-run stand with Grace Harris and went onto score her maiden WPL half-century (55 off 33) against inaugural champions Mumbai Indians. Though the Warriors were punched with a six-wicket loss against the Indians which eventually eliminated them from the tournament, Voll looked in sublime touch with her 12 boundaries.
Up against the Challengers in their last game of the WPL 2025 campaign, Voll felt agonisingly short of etching history of becoming the first centurion of WPL.
The right-hander took the long walk back to the pavilion, unbeaten, with the highest individual score in the history of the tournament. Her sensational batting powered the UP Warriorz to post the highest team total in the competition.
The innings was bolstered with 17 boundaries and 1 maximum, coming at a strike rate of 176.79. The Australian batter toyed with the opposition bowlers and hit the balls across all areas of the stadiums in stylish fashion.
The 21-year-old has very quickly established herself in the international cricket scene, proving herself resilient and talented. Her rise was dramatized when she was brought in as a cover for injured player Alyssa Healy into Australia’s One Day International (ODI) series against India in December 2024.
In her first game at Allan Border Field in Brisbane, Voll contributed an unbeaten 46 runs, showing incredible poise. She took her performance to the next level in the second ODI at the same ground, scoring a fantastic 101 runs off 87 deliveries, with 12 boundaries. This century not only was her first for the national team but also highlighted her preparedness for the international stage.
During Australia’s 2025 Ashes series, she made her T20I and Test debuts, earning all three caps in just one summer, something she recently shared she “dreamed of” but admitted she didn’t “expect to come so fast.” She added, “It’s been a bit of a whirlwind couple of months, and obviously, to get the call to come over here as a replacement was really exciting.”
