1. Meg Lanning
At Chelmsford's second Twenty20 match against England, Meg Lanning was at her most explosive. Lanning put on a clinic during the Australia-England match that was a part of the Women's Ashes in multiple formats. The Southern Stars captain scored 17 fours and 7 sixes in making 133 off 63 in a T20I encounter. As she set the record for the highest individual score in women's T20Is, her strike rate in the match was above 211. Alyssa Healy, a teammate of hers, would later that year break the mark.
2. Harleen Deol
Harleen Deol's outstanding catch has won praise from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Amy Jones' attempt to clear the boundary off Shikha Pandey's delivery was rejected by Deol. Amy's ball, which was anticipated to fly over the fence for a maximum, was successfully blocked by the 23-year-precise old's timing and stance. Deol collected the ball and flung it mid-air before she reached the boundary and recovered her balance in time to block Amy's stroke since she knew that if the ball crossed the boundary, it would result in a six for the other team.
3. Ellyse Perry
In the third ODI of the Ashes series against England, Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry claimed 7 wickets. In her 10-over performance, Perry claimed 7 wickets while allowing only 22 runs. Her return score of 10-4-22-7 is the best by an Australian player in women's ODIs. She grabbed the wickets of the top four England batsmen by dismissing Amy Jones, Sarah Taylor, and Sophie Ecclestone for ducks. No other female bowler has more ODI innings wickets taken than Perry. She also scored 7 runs with the bat, making it a day of 7s for her.
4. Thailand
As the first cricket team from Thailand to earn a spot in an ICC world championship, they created history. The ICC Women's T20 World Cup will be contested in Australia next year, and Thailand and Bangladesh have qualified for it. Chanida Sutthiruang was the highlight of the Scottish qualifier, when they gave several strong performances. In addition to being named the ICC's Emerging Cricketer of the Year, Sutthiruang claimed 12 wickets throughout the competition.
5. Chamari Athapaththu
Chamari Athapaththu, the skipper of Sri Lanka, scored the first individual T20I century for both herself and her nation by hitting everything in sight. It happened in the opening T20I against Australia, which also served as the tour's opening match. The game will be remembered for Chamari's valiant performance in the second innings, despite the fact that the hosts won because to Beth Mooney's century. Athapaththu finished on 113 off 66 balls after scoring her century in 60 balls. With 12 restrictions and six maximums, she also amused the crowd.
6. Masabata Klaas
2019 saw a total of 2 hat-tricks in women's ODIs. The two bowlers that accomplished the feat were Masabata Klaas of South Africa and Megan Schutt of Australia. During the second ODI of the series between South Africa and Pakistan in May, the first ODI hat-trick of the year was achieved. In the 39th over, Aliya Riaz, Umaima Sohail, and Sidra Nawaz were all out by Klaas, giving her a hat-trick. She followed Dane Van Niekerk in 2013 as the only other Proteas woman to score three goals in an ODI.
7. Mithali Raj
As the second female cricketer to lead her team to 100 victories abroad, India's ODI skipper Mithali Raj added another achievement to her already impressive resume. When India defeated South Africa at home in the third ODI, she accomplished this feat. India has triumphed in three tests, eighty one-day internationals, and seventeen twenty-over internationals while Mithali Raj has served as captain. As a result, Mithali surpassed Charlotte Edwards of England, who has 142 victories to her credit, to become the second-most successful captain in women's cricket. Along with renowned athletes like Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Javed Miandad, Mithali Raj also celebrated the 20th anniversary of her international career in 2019.
8. Anjali Chand
With the finest bowling statistics in women's T20Is, Anjali Chand of Nepal permanently inscribed her name in history. When bowling against the Maldives Women in Pokhara, the bowler took 6 wickets while allowing no runs to be scored. Chand returned from the game, a part of the South Asian Games, with the greatest stats in women's T20Is: 2.1-2-0-6. In the game, Chand also scored three goals.
9. Alyssa Healy
In the third T20I played at home against Sri Lanka, Alyssa Healy surpassed Meg Lanning, the women's T20I team captain, for the highest individual score. On that particular day in Sydney, Healy ravaged the Sri Lankan bowling and was unstoppable. The second-fastest woman in T20Is, she sped to her hundred in just 46 balls. When she reached 148, the opener continued to bat with her bat in hand. During her 61-ball stay, she hit a strike rate of over 242, scoring a whopping 148 runs, including 19 fours and 7 sixes.
10. Megan Schutt
In women's ODIs, Megan Schutt made history in September by being the first Australian bowler to take a hat-trick. The third One-Day International against the West Indies, which the Southern Stars won 3-0, saw her three wickets in three balls. Afy Fletcher, Chinelle Henry, and Karishma Ramharack were all bowled by Schutt in the final three deliveries of the 50th over, making her the first Australian bowler to record a hat-trick in women's T20Is.
