Across her WT20I career, she has 66 wickets in 51 innings, highlighted by her incredible 5/7. Though her batting returns (122 runs in 29 innings) are modest, her wicket-taking ability makes her a key weapon for Brazil.

At just the start of her career, she has already featured in 22 WT20I innings, scoring 261 runs with the highest of 36. A player to watch as she develops into a reliable batter for her side.

Another bright spot for Isle of Man, Mallet impressed with figures of 2/15 in the same contest. A regular wicket-taker, she has 23 scalps in 22 WT20I bowling innings, with her best performance being a remarkable 4/5. She adds depth to her side’s bowling attack and has the knack for breakthroughs.
