Deandra Dottin Impact Card vs Bangladesh Women 2026: All-Round Ratings

Deandra Dottin walked off the Kensington Oval after the third T20I and the West Indies Women dressing room broke into a chant. The 34-year-old all-rounder had finished the bilateral with figures and runs that read like a comeback statement. The stretches of 2024 when she had stepped back from international cricket are now firmly in the rearview mirror. Here is the impact card.

The composite rating

Composite all-round ratings combine batting impact, bowling economy, and fielding saves into a single index — useful for comparing role-players across teams. Dottin's rating across the bilateral was 68 out of 100, which puts her in the top quartile of women's all-rounders globally for the calendar year.

Component	Score	Weight	Contribution
Batting impact	71	0.4	28.4
Bowling economy	64	0.3	19.2
Fielding saves	78	0.2	15.6
Captaincy/intent	50	0.1	5.0

The composite rating is not a perfect measure, but it is consistent across players and gives a directional read on form. Dottin's 68 is comfortably above the average for senior international all-rounders.

Batting impact

Dottin scored 187 runs across the five-match bilateral at a strike rate of 142. Three innings featured 50-plus scores; one was an unbeaten 71 off 38 in the second T20I that won the match.

Six-hitting and false shots

She hit 14 sixes in 122 balls — a six every nine balls. The false-shot percentage stayed at 13 — significantly better than her 2024 number of 19. She has refined her shot selection without losing the intent that defines her batting.

What changed in the technique

She has shortened her bat lift and moved her trigger forward by 8 cm. The result is a fuller stride into the drive zone and a cleaner contact point. Coaching staff have spoken about the work done in the WPL prep camp earlier in the year.

Bowling economy

Dottin bowled 14 overs across the bilateral, picking up six wickets at an economy of 6.4. Her stock ball is a back-of-a-length cutter that sits at 110 kph — slower than full-pace seamers but quick enough to take pace off a stroke.

Bowled-by-phase splits

Phase	Overs	Wickets	Economy
Powerplay	5	1	5.4
Middle	6	2	6.8
Death	3	3	8.0

The death-overs work was vital. Dottin defended 14 in the last over of the third T20I, taking two wickets in the process. That is the kind of bowling pressure that wins T20s.

Fielding saves

This is where the impact card gets interesting. Dottin saved 19 runs across the bilateral on conservative estimates — the kind of work that does not show up in scorecards.

Match	Saves	Catches	Run-outs
1st T20I	4	1	0
2nd T20I	3	0	1
3rd T20I	6	1	0
4th T20I	4	0	0
5th T20I	2	1	0

The 19 runs saved over five matches is a top-decile fielding number. Her presence at backward point alone forces opposition batters to reconsider the cut shot.

Captaincy and presence

Dottin is not the West Indies captain, but Hayley Matthews has spoken about how often she leans on Dottin for tactical reads in pressure overs. The two have a clear understanding — Matthews sets the field, Dottin executes the bowling change.

The senior voice

The dressing room dynamic in West Indies Women has been rebuilt over the last two years, and Dottin's return as a fully-engaged senior is part of that rebuild. The captaincy stamp is unspoken but visible.

Comparison with 2024

Dottin's 2024 was disrupted. She missed three series to mental-health and physical recovery cycles. Her 2026 numbers are the cleanest of her career.

Metric	2024	2026
Strike rate	118	142
False shot %	19	13
Bowling economy	7.4	6.4
Fielding saves/match	2.1	3.8

Every metric has improved. The lift across all four areas of the game is what makes this comeback unusual.

How this fits into world cricket

The wider context of women's international cricket sees a generation of all-rounders maturing — Sciver-Brunt, Mooney, Wolvaardt, Mandhana, Devine. Dottin sits comfortably in that group.

Pay equity context

The economic context for senior women's all-rounders has shifted. Match fees are rising, central contracts are being restructured, and ICC has committed to equal prize money for the World Cups. Dottin's late-career renaissance is enabled in part by these shifts.

What the next 12 months look like

The Women's T20 World Cup is on the calendar later in the year. Dottin will be a senior pillar of the WI XI. The Caribbean Premier League Women's edition is also a draw card. With franchise-level cricket and international windows back-to-back, the workload management will be the variable.

The impact card says one thing — Deandra Dottin is back, and she is bowling, batting, and fielding at international standard across all three disciplines. The West Indies Women's 12-month outlook just got significantly stronger.
