NEW DELHI:
Rohmalia
, a 17-year-old off-spinner from the
Indonesian women's cricket team
, etched her name in the record books with an extraordinary bowling performance during the fifth T20I match against
Mongolia
on Wednesday. Her figures of 3.2-3-0-7 now stand as the best bowling figures ever recorded in the history of T20 International cricket.
