England’s fast bowler Issy Wong is among these cricketers. Wong is currently the fastest woman bowler in the world. In today’s match, she can become a problem for the Gujarat Giants batsmen.
Bowling at the speed of 80 miles
20-year-old England fast bowler Issy Wong bowls at a speed of 80 miles (about 129 km) per hour. At present, she is the fastest woman bowler in the world. He made his debut in international cricket last year. He took 3 wickets in the Test played against South Africa in Taunton. In his debut ODI in July 2022, he took 3 wickets while bowling excellently against South Africa. In this way, he started his international cricket in a grand way. She remains in the discussion because of her bowling speed.
Trouble can be made for Gujarat
Issy Wong can become a problem for Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League match to be played on March 4. Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur would definitely like to include him in the playing XI. Issy says that bowling at a speed of 80 mph is normal for him. This means that she can bowl faster during the match. In such a situation, the batsmen of Gujarat Giants will have to be careful with him. She uses the knuckle ball very cleverly. Issy has a lot of experience playing in the short format. She has played for Hobart Hurricanes Women and Sydney Thunders Women’s team in the Big Bash League. Apart from this, he is a part of the Southern Vipers team in the Rachel Hayhoe Flint Trophy played in England.
