Hayley Matthews has been the lone shining star in the West Indies side for a while now. A very reliable off-spinner, athletic on the field and most importantly destructive with the bat at the top, Hayley has got everything in her armoury. There is a reason why like many of her male counterparts, she is most sought after in T20 leagues around the world. On Monday, the 24-year-old lit up the Womens Premier League as her all-round effort (3 wickets & unbeaten 77 off 38) helped Mumbai Indians make light work of Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Brabourne Stadium.
Hayley is just 24, but ever since she burst into the scene as a childhood prodigy, she has been destined for bigger things and nothing illustrated it more than the 45-ball 66 she scored against Australia in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup the only time the latter has lost in the title decider.
