Career

She made her WODI debut on 1 March 2012 against England and scored crucial 33 runs on debut by batting down the order.[8] She made her WT20I debut on 24 February 2015 against England.[9]

On 19 February 2017, she took a hat-trick during the second Women's Twenty20 International match against Australia.[10] She completed her hat-trick by claiming the wickets on first three balls of her spell in the match and her bowling figures were read at 0.3-0-0-3.[11] Her bowling spell of 3/2 against Australia also propelled an unlikely victory for New Zealand in a low scoring affair after bowling out Australia cheaply for just 61 runs and New Zealand successfully defended 101 runs.[12] Anna's hat-trick was also the first hat-trick for a New Zealand women's bowler in international cricket since 1996.[10]

She was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2016 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in India.[13] She was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup tournament in England.[14]

In October 2018, she was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[15][16] In January 2020, she was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.[17]

She also currently works at North Harbour Rugby as the rugby manager for both girls and women.[6]
