Rohmalia, a teenage Indonesian offspinner, set a new world record for best bowling stats in women's T20I cricket on Wednesday when she delivered 7 for 0 against Mongolia in their fifth T20I in Bali. The fact that she accomplished the accomplishment in her international debut added to its significance.
Rohmalia broke the previous record set by the Netherlands seamer Frederique Overdijk, who took 7 for 3 against France in a T20 World Cup Europe Region Qualifier in 2021. Rohmalia is the third bowler in women's T20Is to take seven wickets in a match, following Overdijk and Argentina's Alison Stocks (7 for 3 against Peru).
Indonesia recorded 151 for 5 on Wednesday, led by 61 from Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini. In response, Mongolia was bowled out for 24. Rohmalia took a wicket with her first ball and bowled 3.2 overs without allowing a run. She struck out seven hitters for the Ducks.
