Amy Smith has taken the on-going Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 by storm, bowling one spectacular spell after another. The 15-year-old leg-spinner is the youngest ever player of Hobart Hurricanes Women's and has made a promising start to her career. A late inclusion in WBBL 6, Smith was inducted in the team after fellow leg-spinner Maisy Gibson ruled out of the tournament after sustaining an ACL injury. However, the replacement proved to be a blessing in disguise for Hobart as Smith, who turns 16 later this month, has been a headache for the opposition in the middle overs. Sydney Sixers Host Annual Pride Party Game Against Hobart Hurricanes.

Despite being in the initial half of her career, batswomen haven't been able to get under the skin of rookie, and his economy rate of 5.42 justifies the fact. In six matches so far, Smith has scalped five wickets and will be determined to enhance her tally even further.
