It was the third four+ wicket haul for Deandra Dottin in the Women’s T20 World Cup history. With this achievement, Dottin became the first bowler in tournament history to record more than two four+ wicket hauls.

Former Indian Diana David still holds a special record

Among the bowlers with multiple four+ wicket hauls in the Women’s T20 World Cup history, Indian cricketer Diana David recorded it first. Moreover, she achieved that in a single tournament as she is still the only bowler to claim more than one 4+ wicket haul in the single edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup history. 

During the 2010 edition, David took four wickets against New Zealand Women and Sri Lanka Women. After recording the bowling figures of 4-0-27-4 against the White Ferns, David had the bowling figures of 4-0-12-4 against the Lankans.
