Indonesian women's cricket team bowler Rohmalia Rohmalia has etched her name in the history books by recording the best bowling figures in the history of T20Is. The 17-year-old off-spinner's sensational spell of 3.2-3-0-7 against Mongolia on Wednesday broke the previous record held by Netherlands' Frederique Overdijk.
Rohmalia's remarkable performance surpassed Overdijk's figures of 4-2-3-7 against France in 2021. She became the fourth bowler ever to take 7 wickets in a T20I match, joining Argentina Women's Alison Stocks and Malaysia's Syazrul Ezat Idrus.
Her figures also represent the best by any bowler on debut, surpassing Nepal's Anjali Chand's 2.1-2-0-6 against Maldives in 2019.
Rohmalia's bowling heroics played a crucial role in Indonesia's victory over Mongolia in the fifth T20I encounter. Batting first, Indonesia posted 151/5, with Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini top-scoring with 61.
In response, Mongolia were bowled out for a mere 24 in 16.2 overs, with Rohmalia's spell proving too much to handle.
Meanwhile, the West Indies 'A' cricket team arrived in Nepal on Wednesday for their upcoming five-match T20 series against the hosts. However, their arrival was met with a surprising welcome as a tempo was waiting outside the airport to transport their luggage.
In a viral video, the West Indies players were seen loading their luggage into the tempo with the assistance of an airport helper.
