5 batswomen to watch out for in the ICC Women’s World T20

Suzie Bates is among the best striker of the new ball

#1 Suzie Bates, White Ferns, New Zealand

Suzie Bates, a batting all-rounder and the former Olympian, was born in Dunedin. Playing basketball in her early years has moulded her into a better and strong physique. Attacking and power game suits her character.

Scoring her first ODI hundred at the age of 19 and went to become the highest run-getter in ODI for New-Zealand she has been instrumental in taking New-Zealand cricket to new heights.

She is the first female cricketer, who was awarded the inaugural contract by New Zealand Cricket. In the same year, she was named Player of the Tournament in World Cup and ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year.

With an experience of over a decade and 100 T20I to back up her talent, she is the highest run-getter currently in the world cricket with 2800+ runs at a healthy strike rate of 111.56.

2018 has been a productive year for the batting all-rounder, where she has amassed 509 runs in 12 innings at a magnificent avg of 56.55 in T20.

Apart from her batting prowess, she is equally dangerous with the ball in hand. She averages 24.69 with the ball. Prodigiously talented Suzie Bates will definitely lift the spirit of white ferns and guide them to the winning ways.
