Lizelle Lee has scored 103 off 59 balls against Adelaide, adding to 150 not out in her last start against Perth on Sunday.

She was dropped twice in the 20s off the spin of Anesu Mushangwe in the fourth over and made the Strikers pay dearly.The 32-year-old brought up her half-century off just 35 balls with a maximum before reaching triple figures in the 14th over with a boundary. She was supported well by Nicola Carey, who made an unbeaten 64 off 46 balls, and skipper Elyse Villani's 23 not out from 14 at the death.
