The talismanic fast bowler from Australia was yet another key contributor for her side to secure the gold medal in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Megan Schutt was the joint-second-highest wicket-taker, along with her teammate Tahlia McGrath, picking up eight wickets in five games.

Schutt also had an average of 13.50, a strike rate of 13.5 and an economy rate of 6.00 in the tournament. Her campaign kicked off with a spell of two wickets for 26 runs against India in the opening game. She was wicketless against Barbados but got a wicket against Pakistan in the third game.

Schutt shined in the knockout games, scalping three wickets for 20 runs against New Zealand in the semifinals, and two wickets for 27 runs against India in the gold medal match. She is currently the highest-ranked Australian bowler and fifth overall in the T20Is.
