She took six wickets in the Charlotte Edwards Cup at an average of 25.66, as well as scoring 96 runs.[20] She was Storm's second-highest run-scorer in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, with 176 runs including half-centuries against Northern Diamonds and North West Thunder, as well as taking five wickets.[21][22][23] She also played every match for London Spirit in The Hundred, scoring 46 runs and taking five wickets.[24]
