Alex Blackwell hammered a sublime unbeaten 121 as New South Wales thrashed the Australian Capital Territory by eight wickets in their Women's National Cricket League match in Canberra.

Chasing 217 to win at Manuka Oval, the visitors easily reached the victory target in just the 34th over to secure a bonus point.

In the afternoon's other match, Victoria beat Queensland by four wickets at Junction Oval in Melbourne.

The visitors made 151, with Victoria reaching 6 for 152 with two balls to spare.

Blackwell's century at Manuka Oval was her third for her state and second at the ground, following the one she scored for Australia against India last season.

Her century came off just 88 balls and she faced only 107 deliveries in all, hitting 14 fours and a six.

Blackwell shared in a 99-run opening stand inside 17 overs with Leah Poulton, who made 42.

Alex's twin sister Kate made 27 and was in the middle when Alex hit triple figures.

The Meteors earlier made 214 from their 50 overs after being put into bat.

Captain Kris Britt top-scored with 78 and Laura Wright made 70, the pair putting on 137 for the second wicket.

Angela Reakes, playing just her third game for New South Wales, took 3 for 43 from eight overs.

Elyse Perry managed 3 for 30 from 10.

The second game of the double-header takes place on Sunday.
