Career

International debut

Born in Barbados, Dottin made her international cricket debut in 2008, when she was selected as part of the West Indies squad to tour Europe. Playing in the opening women's One Day International (ODI) of the tour, Dottin bowled two overs without taking a wicket, allowing eleven runs to be scored. In the West Indies reply, she top-scored with an unbeaten 33 as her team chased the total down in under 20 overs.[1] She scored her first half-century in international cricket in her fourth ODI, making 66 having opened the batting against Netherlands.[2] She completed the tour of Europe with 149 ODI runs at a batting average of 29.80, second among the West Indians in both areas, trailing Stafanie Taylor.[3] She continued to open the innings during the tour of Sri Lanka, averaging 18.20, but struggled from the same position in the first two matches of the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup, and after failing to make double figures in either match, was dropped down the batting order to number five.[4][5] The move immediately paid off as she scored 51 in the next match, against hosts Australia and then 23 against both Pakistan and England in the following matches, though she finished the tournament with low-scores against India and Pakistan.

2010 World Twenty20

In the opening match of the 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20, Dotting scored the first women's Twenty20 International century, scoring 112 not out against South Africa at Warner Park, St. Kitts.[6] Coming into bat at number six in the tenth over, Dottin made her first 50 runs in 25 balls, and then moved from 50 to 100 in a further 13 balls. In total, she hit seven 4s and nine 6s in the innings, propelling the West Indies to a match-winning total.[7] In addition to being the first century in women's Twenty20 Internationals, her 38-ball century is the fastest by any batsman—male or female—in a Twenty20 International.[8]
