Career

She broke into the international scene in August 2015 when she was called up as a replacement for the injured Delissa Kimmince and made her T20I debut against Ireland.
She followed this with her ODI debut against India in February 2016.
After a period away from the national team, she returned strongly and has since been a regular in Australia’s T20I setup.
Domestically, she has been a standout for Brisbane Heat across multiple WBBL seasons, producing memorable all-round performances.
In franchise cricket, she has featured in the Women’s Premier League for UP Warriorz and later Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as well as The Hundred for London Spirit.
Her aggressive batting style has produced several high-impact innings, including rapid centuries and match-winning contributions in T20 cricket.

In the Women’s Big Bash League, she became the first player to score a century and take four wickets in the same match early in the competition’s history.
She later set a then-fastest WBBL century, scoring 100 off 42 balls, and recorded the highest individual score in the league with an unbeaten 136.
