"I decided to go after everything," was what Deandra Dottin was quoted to have said after smashing a 38-ball ton against South Africa during the 2010 World Twenty20. This incredible century was then the fastest by any cricketer, male or female, in T20I cricket. It still remains to be the fastest by a woman in the format.

Less than a year earlier, Dottin was involved in another blitzkrieg - a 22-ball half-century against Australia in the 2009 World Twenty20, which was then the fastest by a woman in the format. To put things in perspective, the batting superstar had made her ODI and T20I debuts only a year earlier - against Ireland in June 2008.

Dottin has also contributed as an occasional pace bowler, picking up 9 wickets at 13.55 during West Indies' victorious 2016 World Twenty20 campaign. This included figures of 2-33 in the final.
