MIDLAND Guildford player Chloe Piparo played her 100th Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) match on January 27.

The milestone means Piparo, who captains the WA side, is the third WA woman to achieve the feat following former players Avril Fahey (124) and Angele Gray (105).

A classy right-hander Piparo made her debut in October 2012 as an 18-year-old and has been a regular fixture in the WA side ever since.

A top-order batter capable of batting long periods, Piparo’s record for her state is unmatched, with the 30-year-old now the record-holder for most runs for WA in the national competition.

Piparo has compiled 3051 runs at 33.9 over 99 matches, including 23 half-centuries and four centuries with a highest score of 119.

A career-best season in 2022-23 (513 runs at 51.3) saw her earn a maiden Zoë Goss Medal, awarded to the best performing player for WA during the season.

Her class and composure at the crease have long been her standout feature, while her ability to read the game has seen her become one of the best leaders in the competition.

Touted as a captain in waiting from her junior days, Piparo took over leadership duties from Bolton ahead of the 2018-19 WNCL season and now stands as WA’s longest-serving skipper.

WA were hoping to continue on a winning momentum, after their convincing bonus-point victory over New South Wales at the WACA last time out.

But in Piparo’s 100th match WA lost to Victoria by two wickets with three balls remaining.

WA next play the ACT Meteors on Friday, February 7.
