The 36-year-old spin all-rounder now has taken 101 wickets in 73 ODI matches at an average of 9.96 and becomes the first-ever cricketer to take 100 wickets at a bowling average below 10. She is only the 11th cricketer in the world to have 100 T20I wickets in women’s cricket, but she has the highest bowling average on the list. If she scoops up one wicket in Thailand’s next game against Hong Kong on September 6, she would join current world no. 1 bowler Sophie Ecclestone’s 102-wicket tally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veteran off-spinner pulled off a sensational spell with three wickets while conceding just three runs in three overs against Kuwait. However, the game was abandoned after nine-play rain interrupted the crucial qualifier fixture at Selangor Turf Club in Kuala Lumpur. Thailand still stand a chance to progress into the semi-final round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
