In the last 9 editions of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, many bowlers have turned the outcome of the game with their fierce bowling performances. Players like Deandra Jalisa Shakira Dottin, Sune Luus, Ashleigh Katherine Gardner, Renuka Singh Thakur, and Priyanka Roy have produced one of the best bowling figures in the tournament.

Deandra Jalisa Shakira Dottin, a West Indies right-handed fast bowler, on 9th November 2018, playing against BAN-W in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2018, produced an important bowling figure for her team in the match by taking 5 breakthroughs and conceding only 5 runs in 3.4 overs with an economy of 1.36.
