List of women's international cricket hat-tricks

A hat-trick in cricket is when a bowler takes three wickets from consecutive deliveries. It is a relatively rare feat,[1] and has occurred 28 times in the history of women's international cricket.[a] The first hat-trick was taken in a Test match between Australia and England in February 1958, by Australia's Betty Wilson.[5] Two further hat-tricks have been taken in women's Tests; by Pakistan's Shaiza Khan in 2004, and Australia's Rene Farrell in 2011.[2] The first hat-trick in women's One Day Internationals was taken by Carole Hodges during the 1993 Women's Cricket World Cup.

Rene Farrell is the most recent bowler to have taken a hat-trick in a women's Test match.

In September 2019, against the West Indies, Megan Schutt became the first female bowler to take two hat-tricks in international cricket.[6]

The most recent bowler to achieve the feat was Australia's Heather Graham, against India during a Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) in December 2022.[a]
