Prestwidge is the daughter of former Queensland Bulls all rounder Scott Prestwidge and the sister of current Melbourne Renegades bowler Jack Prestwidge.[4] She made her debut for the Fire in October 2014, but did not bat or bowl in that match.[5] At the end of the 2015–16 season, she was named the Queensland Fire Youth Player of the Year.[6]
On 13 October 2016, Prestwidge was reported for having a suspected illegal bowling action during a WNCL match against Tasmania at Allan Border Field. On 12 November 2016, Cricket Australia announced that an analysis undertaken on 28 October 2016 by the Biomechanics Department at the Bupa National Cricket Centre had found Prestwidge's bowling action to be illegal, and that she had therefore been suspended from bowling in Cricket Australia sanctioned matches with immediate effect.[7]
