**Dubai, UAE -** West Indies all-rounder Deandra Dottin has achieved another significant milestone in her illustrious career, reaching 6,500 runs across both ODI and T20I formats for the West Indies. The 33-year-old achieved the feat during the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the UAE.

Dottin, who made her international debut in 2008, is known for her explosive batting and has consistently been a force to be reckoned with in women’s cricket. She has scored over 3,700 runs in ODIs with a strike rate of 79.09 and a decent average of 30.54. Her best ODI performance came in 2024 against South Africa, where she scored a sensational unbeaten century (150* off 158 balls).

In T20Is, Dottin has amassed over 2,700 runs in 128 innings, including 12 half-centuries and two centuries. Her most memorable T20I performance was an unbeaten century (112* off 45 balls) against South Africa in the 2010 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Despite announcing her retirement from international cricket in 2022, Dottin made a triumphant comeback in 2024 and is currently representing the West Indies in the T20 World Cup.

The all-rounder reached the 6,500-run landmark during the West Indies’ final league match against England, scoring a crucial cameo of 27 runs off 19 balls. This performance helped her team reach the knockout stages of the tournament.

This latest achievement further solidifies Dottin’s status as one of the most accomplished women’s cricketers of her generation. Her contribution to the West Indies team has been invaluable, and her comeback to international cricket has brought renewed excitement to the game.
