Football: Brazil’s Laura Cardoso Scripts History, Picks 9-wicket Haul In A T20I
The previous record in men’s T20Is belonged to Sonam Yeshey, who had taken 8/7 against Myanmar in 2025, while in the women’s game, Rohmalia Rohmalia held the benchmark with 7/0 against Mongolia in 2024. Cardoso surpassed both with a spell that will be remembered as one of the most dominant in the format’s history.
Her remarkable burst began early, with a hat-trick in her second over, setting the tone for Brazil’s dominance. She followed it up with four more wickets in her next over to race to seven scalps, before adding two more in her third over to complete an unprecedented nine-wicket haul. Lesotho’s innings folded for just 13 in 6.2 overs, with Marianne Artur claiming the only wicket not taken by Cardoso, sealing a crushing 189-run victory for Brazil.
