While Women’s cricket is growing rapidly, bowlers are playing a crucial role in making it stronger and more exciting. In the Women’s T20 international cricket, we are experiencing a gradual increase in top-class bowlers. Here we are talking about the bowlers with the most wickets in the Women’s T20 international.
Wickets are one of the major and unavoidable matrices to recognise the ability of any bowler. In the Women’s T20I history, already nine bowlers have recorded 100+ wickets.
