Fast bowler Katherine Brunt has scripted history by becoming the first English cricketer to pick 150 wickets in Women's One Day International (WODI) cricket.

The right-armer, who has played 121 WODIs for England so far, achieved the historic feat during the first ODI of the three-match series against Pakistan when she took 2 wickets to contribute in England’s 75-run victory, thanks to Danielle Wyatt’s first century in ODI at the Kinrara Oval on Monday (December 9).

Meanwhile, the second ODI will be played on December 12 and if Brunt manages three wickets in that match, she will become the third-highest wicket-taker overall in women's ODI history.

At the moment, India's Jhulan Goswami is leading the ODI chart with 225 scalps to her name. She is followed by Cathryn Fitzpatrick of Australia (180), Ellyse Perry of Australia (152), Anisa Mohammed of West Indies (151) and Pakistan's Sana Mir (151).

Noteworthy, the 34-year-old has also played 12 Tests and 72 T20Is in which she has scalped 41 and 74 wickets respectively.
