Laura Cardoso Creates History: Brazil women’s cricket team all-rounder Laura Cardoso has created history by taking 9 wickets in a T20 International match. She has become the first cricketer in the world to achieve such a feat. Before this, such a feat had not happened in any T20 match, whether men’s or women’s. Cardoso took 9 wickets for 4 runs in just 3 overs in the T20I match against Lesotho and gave his team a big victory of 189 runs.

Earlier, the record for best bowling in T20 International was in the name of Bhutan’s Sonam Yeshe, who took 8 wickets in 2025. Among women, Indonesia’s Rohmalia had the record of 7 wickets, which Cardoso comfortably overtook.
