There is an old saying that “Batters win you matches and Bowlers win you tournaments”. India–Australia women’s clashes have been called high-octane matches from the start, wherein the bowlers have conjured up magical spells stopping the game from going into the opposing team’s favor.
With modern cricket now so dominated by the batsman, bowlers really still do have to prove they can terrorize the mightiest of batting line-ups. In the India vs Australia women’s cricket rivalry, some bowlers etched legends by reaching the rare milestone of a hat-trick.
This article will give you details of bowlers who have taken hat-tricks in the tour of Australia Women in India.
1. Megan Schutt (2018)
Megan Schutt is surely counted among Australia’s best fast bowlers ever. She became the first Australian woman to take a T20I hat-trick during the month of March in 2018 and during the Tri-Nation Series in Mumbai against India.
Schutt took the wickets of Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, and Deepti Sharma in quick succession. This remains impossible to rival stimulus in the career of Schutt and so highlights her ability to strike at crucial moments.
2. Heather Graham (2022)
Heather Graham, nicknamed the crème de la crème, with three dismissals at one end against India in December 2022 during the 5th T20 International at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
She took out Devika Vaidya, Radha Yadav, and Renuka Singh in two overs,and henceforth, the match and series were sealed in Australia’s favour. Interestingly, she said soon after the game that she didn’t know she had taken the hat-trick until some of her teammates told her!
With this performance, she became only the second Australian woman to achieve a T20I hat trick, and both achieved results against India.
