On 10 November 2024, Lizelle Lee came into a game against Perth Scorchers at the SCG after five low scores, and she admitted afterwards that the lean run had left her in tears. She hit 150 not out from 75 balls, with 12 sixes. It is still the highest score in WBBL history. Three days later she hit 103 against Adelaide Strikers and became the first player to make back-to-back WBBL centuries.
Lee has played 110 WBBL matches and scored 3,022 runs at 31.15 with a strike rate of 134.01. That includes six hundreds and 15 fifties, 367 fours and 117 sixes. She is also a wicketkeeper with 26 catches and 16 stumpings. Her six hundreds are more than any other batter profiled in this series, and her 117 sixes sit behind only Sophie Devine's 155.
From Ermelo to Hobart
Cricket Australia notes she had an unusual move at 30: retiring from international cricket and relocating across the world, which opened up more playing opportunities. Her international record is 91 ODIs for 3,135 runs and 73 T20Is for 1,751 runs. In the 2025-26 WNCL she scored 187 against Victoria, three short of Meg Lanning's record for the highest WNCL score.
The Umpire Who Opens the Batting
Lee has said she wants to be a top international umpire, with the 2032 Brisbane Olympics in mind. In November 2025 she was half of the first female umpire pair to stand in a men's third-grade game in Tasmanian Premier cricket, and two days after her final knock she was officiating at the Female Under-19 National Championships. She is not planning to stop playing: "I don't want to take away my cricket, because I still feel like there's a lot in me."

Lee in WBBL 2026 Season Fantasy
Lee is priced at 8.5 Cr and is listed as a wicketkeeper, which gives you a keeper slot at a lower price than Mooney's 10.5 Cr. The Hurricanes open away at Junction Oval against Melbourne Stars on 29 October, and their first home game is on 4 November against Melbourne Renegades. She is not in Australia's squads, so she should be available throughout.
A power hitter with 117 WBBL sixes is a boom-or-bust pick. Her 8.5 Cr price is attractive because a single big score can outweigh several quiet games.
