Georgia Wareham concluded the Australian Women's Cricket team's tour of the West Indies, which finished with a nine-wicket victory, as the side's second best wicket-taker.
She was tied on 10 scalps with Jess Jonassen while Megan Schutt claimed one more wicket then the pair to top the charts across three one-day internationals and three twenty20s.
Wareham saved her best game for last twenty20 to finish with figures of 3-14 from her four overs, playing a key role in bowling the West Indies out for 81.
The 20-year-old also had a hand in two more after taking catches off the bowling of Jonassen and Schutt.

Wicket-keeper Alyssa Healy (38), Beth Mooney (24 not out) and Ellyse Perry (17 not out) helped the Australians finish off the clean sweep of all six tour matches in the final innings.
Coach Matthew Mont said his side's bowling brigade would head into a busy summer with an added boost.
"We are really happy with how the bowling unit is going and I think there has been some great changes there," he said.
"Seeing Megan Schutt coming around the wicket to the left handers and I thought Georgia Wareham bowled incredibly well and spun the ball so that is good for her confidence and the addition of Erin Burns.
"I think she came in and added some good energy so that part is going well."
The Australian women are back in action on home soil against the Sri Lankans on September 29 with the first of three twenty20s in Sydney.
Following those are three one-day internationals beginning on October 5 in Brisbane before a well-needed break for the tri-series against England and India in Canberra (January 31 - February 2) and Melbourne (February 7 - 12).
