Hunter determined to continue on his “upward curve”

Hunter played a key role in the victory in the first game of the series, the hitting first Twenty20 international century with an unbeaten 101 off 66.

In doing so, she became the first Irish woman to record a ton against a full member of the International Cricket Council.

"I "I was pretty happy, to be honest," the 18-year-old said.

"I just wanted some runs on the table, so I'm absolutely delighted with 101."

Ireland completed a tour of eight matches in Zimbabwe, with three one-day internationals and five T20 contests.

They won a 2-0 series win in the ODIs in Harare, before recording five wins from five in the T20 series.

Hunter was happy with her performance on the tour and the fact that she once again entered in history, becoming the only Irish female cricketer to score an international century in both ODI and T20 formats.

The Belfast native went global made headlines in October 2021 when, on her 16th birthday, she became the youngest player to reach an international century in a one-day win over the Zimbabwe.

However, she still thinks there is room for improvement in her game.

"It's been a great two weeks, for the team to come away with seven wins and one draw on tour, it 'was definitely a hit for the girls."

"I'm thrilled to have the second [century for Ireland]. The moment you get one, you're thrilled, but it's nice to be able to save it and prove it's not an innings."

She continued: "I'm pretty happy, I probably would have liked a little more in the last two matches and potentially in the second two matches, but overall I I'm happy."
