"I love what I'm doing, so it's fine ... I picked [cricket] up only as I started playing. Watching a lot of matches on YouTube helped me understand the game." [6]

Domestic career

Since 2019, Bierwisch has been playing her domestic level cricket for the Frankfurt Cricket Club. [7] Her main playing role is as a batter. [8]

In the final of the 2021 Women's Bundesliga, Bierwisch scored 112* from 67 deliveries to lead Frankfurt to a total of 223 for two against SV Damshagen. Frankfurt later won the match by 194 runs, with Bierwisch being awarded Player of the Match, [9] and, later still, Player of the Season. [1]

International career

In August 2017, Bierwisch played for Germany in three matches of a European Women's T20 tournament in Antwerp, Belgium, but did not bat or bowl. [10]

On 26 June 2019, Bierwisch made her WT20I debut for Germany against Scotland at the La Manga Club Ground, Murcia, Spain, in the first match of the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Europe, which was also Germany's first ever WT20I. [2] [11] In February 2020, she played in a bilateral series between Germany and Oman at the Al Amerat Cricket Stadium, Muscat. [12]

On 13 August 2020, in the third match of another bilateral series, between Germany and Austria at the Seebarn Cricket Ground in Austria, Bierwisch became the first player, male or female, to take a hat-trick for Germany in a T20I. After coming on to bowl her medium pacers with Austria at 41–4, she dismissed three batters for ducks with her second, third and fourth balls, to leave the Austrians reeling at 41–7. For that achievement, which she kicked off with her first ever WT20I wicket, she was chosen as Player of the Match. [13] [14] [15] [16] Two days later, in the fifth and final match of the bilateral series, Bierwisch was again Germany's most successful bowler. She took four wickets for seven runs from four overs, including two maidens, and was again named player of the match. However, she had a lean series with the bat. [14] [16] [17]

In Germany's next bilateral series, against France at the Bayer Uerdingen Cricket Ground, Krefeld, in July 2021, Bierwisch played in four of the matches, but did not bat, [18] and bowled only 3.2 overs. [19] The following month, Bierwisch played in all four of Germany's matches in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier. [20]
