In the world of women’s international cricket, the England tour of New Zealand was the solitary series that was played in February. Thus, the three players nominated from either of the sides.

She also went on to become just the fourth woman to score half-centuries in each of her first two ODI matches.

Nat was the leading wicket-taker in the ODI series between New Zealand and England. She scored a match-winning 63 in the second ODI to see her team home.
