Sophie Molineux’s journey in Victorian cricket has been nothing short of remarkable, and she is seen as a rising star in the sport. Her junior career has been impressive, including her role as the under-18 Victorian captain. Molineux’s versatility as a top-order batter and left-arm spinner has set her apart. She honed her skills by being part of the VicSpirit squad as a rookie, learning from the state’s best players. In 2014, at just 16 years old, Molineux was named Player of the Championships at the Under-18 Nationals. During the tournament, she not only emerged as Victoria’s highest run-scorer with 155 runs but also showcased her prowess as a bowler by taking an astonishing 19 wickets at an average of just 3.9. Molineux also made a mark in the WBBL, delivering strong performances for the Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural season. In 2018, she played a pivotal role in the Australian Women’s cricket team, contributing to their success in winning a fourth ICC World T20 championship.
