In cricket, she has made 117 international appearances and won four world championships as a member of the Australian women's team. A right-handed batter with a reputation as a big game performer, Duffin was named Player of the Final in both the 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 and 2013 Women's Cricket World Cup tournaments. She also won the 2013 Belinda Clark Award for being adjudged Australia's best international women's cricketer over the previous year. Her domestic career has included playing for Victoria in the Women's National Cricket League and captaining the Melbourne Renegades in the Women's Big Bash League.

In addition to cricket, Duffin has played Australian rules football for Collingwood, North Melbourne, and Hawthorn in the AFL Women's competition. She led the league for marks across the first three seasons and earned selection in the 2019 All-Australian team as a half-back flanker. She has also received recognition for her outstanding performance at state league level, winning the 2018 Lambert–Pearce Medal while playing as a midfielder for Williamstown in the VFL Women's competition.

The lack of female pathways in football at the time led Duffin to undertake the more accessible sport of cricket. After receiving encouragement by a school teacher, she attended an under-12 cricket training camp that resulted in selection for Victoria at junior level.{{Cite web|title=Jess Cameron proves the woman for all seasons|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/jess-cameron-proves-the-woman-for-all-seasons/news-story/0a60c4e82c4e0d358f5370cec8ee6749|website=The Australian|access-date=31 May 2020}}

At the age of 17, Duffin made her senior debut for Victoria in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) and played all eleven of the team's games for the 2006–07 season.{{Cite web|title=Women's National Cricket League, 2006/07 - Victoria Women Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=2906&team=651&type=tournament|website=Cricinfo|access-date=30 May 2020}} In her first match, against reigning champions New South Wales, she contributed twelve runs with the bat in a three-wicket loss.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Victoria Women vs New South Wales Women 2006 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8628/scorecard/261592/new-south-wales-women-vs-victoria-women-womens-national-cricket-league-2006-07|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}} She scored her maiden half-century on 19 January 2009, making 58 off 63 in a three-wicket loss to New South Wales.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Victoria Women vs New South Wales Women 2009 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8628/scorecard/361347/new-south-wales-women-vs-victoria-women-womens-national-cricket-league-2008-09|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}

On 24 November 2012, Duffin recorded her first WNCL century, scoring 128 off just 68 deliveries against South Australia.

At the official Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) launch on 10 July 2015, Duffin was unveiled as the first-ever player signing for the Perth Scorchers.{{Cite web|title=Cameron Launches Scorchers WBBL|url=https://www.perthscorchers.com.au/news/cameron-coup-launches-scorchers-wbbl-campaign/2015-07-10|website=Perth Scorchers|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020|archive-date=11 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200411160840/https://www.perthscorchers.com.au/news/cameron-coup-launches-scorchers-wbbl-campaign/2015-07-10|url-status=dead}} However, beginning in November 2015, Duffin stepped away from her domestic cricket commitments which would lead to missing the whole inaugural WBBL season.

In June 2016, a month after Duffin signalled a return to top-level domestic cricket, the Melbourne Stars announced they had "won the race for the prized signature of the former Australian batter" by recruiting her for the 2016–17 Women's Big Bash League season season.{{Cite web|title=Stars sign Cameron, Lanning for WBBL{{!}}02|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/womens-big-bash-league-melbourne-stars-meg-lanning-jess-cameron-emma-kearney-wbbl02/2016-06-07|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}

On 20 January 2017, in a match against the Hobart Hurricanes at Bellerive Oval, Duffin pulled off arguably the most unlikely victory of her career. Facing Amy Satterthwaite and needing 12 runs from the last two legal deliveries, Duffin hit a six off the first ball. Then, she hit a four off what was deemed a no-ball. With Satterthwaite having to bowl an additional delivery, Duffin worked a single through the leg side to claim a last-gasp six-wicket win.{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Stars Women 52nd Match 2017 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1064713/hobart-hurricanes-women-vs-melbourne-stars-women-52nd-match-womens-big-bash-league-2016-17|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}

In September 2019, the Renegades announced Duffin as the team's captain for 2019–20 Women's Big Bash League season, replacing Amy Satterthwaite who would sit out 2019–20 due to pregnancy.{{Cite web|title=Jess Duffin named WBBL Captain|url=https://www.melbournerenegades.com.au/news/jess-duffin-named-wbbl-captain/2019-09-19|website=Melbourne Renegades|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020|archive-date=9 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809074954/https://www.melbournerenegades.com.au/news/jess-duffin-named-wbbl-captain/2019-09-19|url-status=dead}} Coincidentally, Duffin would miss one game during the season, the cause of which was later revealed to be a case of morning sickness.{{Cite web|title=AFLW: Duffin's tall story|url=https://www.nmfc.com.au/news/558899/aflw-duffin-s-tall-story|website=nmfc.com.au|date=31 January 2020 |language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}} Nevertheless, she had a stellar tournament, scoring 544 runs at an average of 68.00 and a strike rate of 138.77.{{Cite web|title=Women's Big Bash League, 2019/20 Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=13102&type=tournament|website=Cricinfo|access-date=30 May 2020}} Among her highlights was an unbeaten 27-ball innings of 50 runs on 27 November 2019 against the Brisbane Heat, helping the Renegades mow down a target of 184 and set a new league record for the highest successful chase.{{Cite web|title=WBBL wrap: 'Gades shock Heat in record chase|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wbbl05-wrap-melbourne-renegades-stars-thunder-heat-report-scores-highlights/2019-11-27|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Brisbane Heat Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women 48th Match 2019 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18042/scorecard/1188429/brisbane-heat-women-vs-melbourne-renegades-women-48th-match-womens-big-bash-league-2019-20|website=www.espncricinfo.com|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}} Although the Renegades would be eliminated in the semi-finals for the second-straight year, Duffin received individual acclaim by being named captain for the Team of the Tournament.{{Cite web|title=Revealed: WBBL team of the tournament|url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/feature/wbbl05-official-team-of-the-tournament-devine-mooney-lanning-perry-schutt-duffin-wyatt-strano/2019-12-03|website=cricket.com.au|language=en|access-date=30 May 2020}}

After playing with her sister at Port Melbourne Colts in Division 4 of the Victorian Women's Football League, Duffin accepted an invitation to join Premier Division VWFL team Diamond Creek.
