Maria Da Rocha (born 12 January 2000) is a cricketer who plays for the Jersey women's cricket team.

Career[edit]

Da Rocha was part of the Jersey squad for the 2019 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series, featuring in all the team's six matches as they finished runners-up behind the hosts.[2]

She was among the Jersey squad which went one better and lifted the trophy at the 2022 France Women's T20I Quadrangular Series,[3][4][5] scoring 20 off 22 balls in the islanders' win over France in their opening game[6] and then hitting 46 from 45 balls in their victory against Austria.[7]

Da Rocha made her first home WT20I appearance in the newly expanded 2022 Women's Inter-Insular Cup against Guernsey at Grainville Cricket Ground,[8] scoring 23 not out in an unbroken 69-run partnership with Lily Greig as Jersey successfully chased 71 to win the first of the three-match series by nine wickets.[9]

She was a member of the Jersey squad that contested the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier.[10]

Later that year Da Rocha made 26 as Jersey successfully chased a target of 85 in just 12 overs to defeat Guernsey in the second match of the 2023 WT20I Inter-Insular Cup and clinch the trophy with a game to spare.[11][12][13]
