Two seasons on from her record-breaking century at North Sydney Oval, Ashleigh Gardner has developed into one of the most dangerous strikers of the ball in world T20 cricket.
In December 2017, she smashed the highest score in WBBL history with 114 from just 52 balls at North Sydney Oval and has gone on to become a key member of the Australian Women’s Cricket team.
Gardner, who starts the season at just 22, has now played 60 International matches including her first Test match during the Women’s Ashes in July.
She became just the third Indigenous person, and second woman after Faith Thomas, to receive her Baggy Green.
Gardner has scored more than 1,300 runs for the Sixers at a strike rate of 122.63, however, her off-spin is just as important as her pure ball striking ability.
At an International level, she has 62 wickets to her name averaging an excellent 18.73 at T20 level.
Her power with the bat and guile with ball has been a key part of the Sixers success, and we’re hoping for something similar in WBBL|05.
