However, she was given an opportunity to bowl in the second innings. Valentine bowled just five overs while claiming her first international wicket when she bowled out Kath Smith. In the innings she conceded nine runs in Australia's second innings. England went on to win the match by nine wickets. The match was Valentine's only international appearance.
