Natalie Sciver (/ˈsɪvər/; born 20 August 1992) is an English cricketer. She was the first cricketer for England to take a hat-trick in a Women's Twenty20 International match. The "Natmeg" shot is named after Sciver, from when she has hit a cricket ball through her legs during a game.

On 7 March 2021, Sciver captained the England team for the first in international cricket, for the third WT20I match against New Zealand, after Heather Knight was ruled out of the fixture due to an injury.

Background

Sciver's mother, an employee of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, was based in Japan at the time of Sciver's birth. Before moving to England, Sciver had also lived in Poland, where she played in women's league football, and the Netherlands, where she played basketball.

Career

She began playing cricket as a teenager, and played for Surrey club side Stoke d'Abernon. She also played cricket at school, playing in the Epsom College school 1st XI for two seasons. After a period in Surrey's Academy she played for the Surrey county team and progressed to the England Women's Academy. After some successful games in the Academy team, she was selected for the 2013 limited-overs series against Pakistan where she made her debut for the full England side. In a T20 game against New Zealand, she became the first England cricketer to take an international T20 hat-trick.

She is the holder of one of the first tranche of 18 ECB central contracts for women players, which were announced in April 2014.

In April 2015, she was named as one of the England women's Academy squad tour to Dubai, where England women will play their Australian counterparts in two 50-over games, and two Twenty20 matches.

She along with Heather Knight set the highest 3rd wicket run stand in the history of Women's Cricket World Cup (213) during the 2017 edition. In the same world cup, Sciver along with Tammy Beaumont set the highest record partnership for the 4th wicket(170) in Women's World Cup history. Sciver was a member of the winning women's team at the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup held in England.

In 2018 she was named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year for her part in the World Cup victory the previous summer.

In October 2018, she was named in England's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies. Following the conclusion of the tournament, she was named as the standout player in the team by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

In February 2019, she was awarded a full central contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 2019. In March 2019, during the third Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) match against Sri Lanka, Sciver scored her 1,000th run in WT20I cricket. In June 2019, the ECB named her in England's squad for their opening match against Australia to contest the Women's Ashes. In January 2020, she was named in England's squad for the 2020 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia.

On 18 June 2020, Sciver was named in a squad of 24 players to begin training ahead of international women's fixtures starting in England following the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2021, Sciver was named in England's Test and WODI squad as the vice-captain for their home series against India. In the second match of the WODI series, she took the wicket of Shikha Pandey and claimed her 50th wicket in WODIs.

Education

Sciver studied sports and exercise science at Loughborough University.

Personal life

In October 2019, Sciver announced her engagement to fellow England cricketer Katherine Brunt. They were scheduled to get married in September 2020, but their wedding was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
