Nat Sciver Scored 833 Runs And Bagged 11 Wickets In 2022

Nat Sciver had a memorable 2022 as she was consistent with her performances in the 17 matches she played in the ODI format during the year. She smashed 833 runs in ODIs in 2022 at an amazing average of 59.50 and a good strike rate of 91.43.

Nat Sciver finished the year as the second-highest run-getter in ODIs, just behind Laura Wolvaardt who scored 882 runs in 18 outings at an average of 49.00 and a strike rate of 78.96, including one century and 8 half-centuries.

The 30-year-old reserved her best for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 as she smashed 436 runs in the tournament at an average of over 70. She finished third in the overall run charts behind the Australia duo of Alyssa Healy and Rachael Haynes but recorded a better average than the two.

Nat Sciver played a sensational knock, but it wasn’t enough for England to chase down a humongous 357-run target posted by Australia in the final at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
