Cricket career

Matthews made her debut for the Barbadian cricket team at the age of 12.[2] Her international debut for the West Indies came at the age of 16, in a Twenty20 International against New Zealand in September 2014.[3] Matthews made her One Day International (ODI) debut a few months later,[4] scoring 55 runs from 86 balls in the first game of a four-ODI series against Australia.[5] In the second game, she scored 89 runs from 108 balls,[6] and in the third game, 60 runs from 81 balls.[7] Matthews has been a regular for the West Indies since her debut,[3][4] and was a key member of the team that won the 2016 World Twenty20, scoring 66 runs from 45 balls in the final.[8]

Outside of playing for the West Indies, Matthews spent the 2015–16 season playing domestic cricket in Australia, representing the Tasmanian Roar in the Women's National Cricket League and the Hobart Hurricanes in the inaugural season of the Women's Big Bash League.[9] In one WBBL match against the Melbourne Stars, she scored 77 runs from 51 balls.[10]

On September 22nd 2018, Matthews scored her maiden ODI hundred against South Africa in the 3rd ODI, in front of her home crowd as Bridgetown. She has scored a duck in the opening match of the series and, after a wash-out in the second ODI, Matthews struck 17 fours in her 146-ball 117 as West Indies piled up 292 after opting to bat.

After losing her opening partner Kycia Knight in the third over, Matthews played the starring role in a 176-run second-wicket partnership with the captain Stafanie Taylor (46) to set the base for a high-scoring finish to their innings, after which Dottin came in at No. 4 to smash a rapid 44-ball 59 - including three sixes - to take West Indies close to the three-hundred run mark. West Indies went on to win the match by 115 runs, and level the ODI series 1-1. [11]

In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded her a women's contract for the 2018–19 season.[12][13] Later the same month, she was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[14][15] Ahead of the tournament, she was named as the player to watch in the team,[16] and was appointed vice-captain of the team.[17]

In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[18][19] In January 2020, she was named in West Indies' squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[20] In September 2020, in the third match against England, Matthews took her 50th wicket in WT20Is.[21]

Athletics career

As an athlete, Matthews competes in the javelin throw, and has represented Barbados in a number of international meets and competitions. She won silver medals at the 2013 and 2014 CARIFTA Games, competing in the under-17 and under-18 categories, respectively. At the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships in Athletics, held in Mexico, she won a bronze medal in the under-18 category, while at the 2015 CARIFTA Games she won her first gold medal, again competing in the under-18 category.[22]
