Career

edit

Mack began her domestic career as a rookie with New South Wales in 2012. Originally a bowling all-rounder, Mack made the switch to batting to further her chances of selection.[5] On 27 May 2012, Mack made her List A debut for Essex in the 2012 Women's County Championship against Yorkshire.[6]

Prior to the start of the 2013/14 domestic season, she moved to play for the ACT Meteors due to a lack of opportunity with New South Wales.[7] Mack made her maiden List A century on 20 December 2014, scoring 106 from 131 balls in a five-wicket defeat to Queensland Fire.[8] She signed with the Melbourne Stars for the inaugural Women's Big Bash League season.[9]

In October 2017, she was named in the Cricket Australia XI squad for a three-day tour match against England as part of their tour of Australia.[10] In August 2019, she signed with the Adelaide Strikers ahead of 2019–20 Women's Big Bash League season.[11]

On 7 February 2021, she carried her bat against South Australia, scoring 106 off 131 balls in a losing cause.[12] During the 2020/21 WNCL season, Mack was the third-highest run-scorer with 418 runs at an average of 59.71.[13]

In January 2022, Mack was named in Australia's A squad for their series against England A, with the matches being played alongside the Women's Ashes.[14] Ahead of the 2022/23 WNCL season, she was named as the captain of the Meteors as a replacement for Angela Reakes.[15] She was included in the team of the tournament for the 2023–24 Women's National Cricket League season with 471 runs at an average of 47.10 and a high score of 140*.[16]

She was named as the Adelaide Striker's MVP following the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Big Bash League season, scoring 452 runs from 15 matches.[17] In June 2024, she was added to the Australia A squad for the Indian tour of Australia.[18] On 14 August, she scored a century against India A.[19]
