Player Story
A genuine two-way threat, Orla Prendergast is one of Ireland’s standout cricketers, bringing international class with both bat and ball to Brisbane.
The 24-year-old allrounder has already twice been named in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament, most recently after a huge 2026 campaign where she smashed 181 runs across five innings, including match-winning knocks against the West Indies and New Zealand.
With 88 T20Is under her belt, Prendergast has already racked up more than 2,000 international runs and 69 wickets, while her ability to bowl across the innings gives the Heat plenty of options.
Now, she’s bringing it all to the teal.
