Centurion Mignon du Preez was speechless after smashing the winning runs in the Proteas' T20 World Cup victory over tournament favourites England

CAPE TOWN – Sometimes sport provides a story which not only trounces fiction, but provides a script that is simply beyond the fantasy world.

Mignon du Preez had said it was a “dream come true” to have the opportunity to play 100 T20I’s for the Proteas Women’s team. To achieve that feat on Sunday against England in the Proteas’ ICC T20 World Cup opening game at the WACA was “pretty special” too. It should then be no surprise that the veteran batsman was completely “stumped” for words after smashing the winning runs to take the Proteas home with just two balls remaining in her milestone game. The fact that it was also the first time the Proteas had overcome premier rivals England at a World Cup only added to the gravitas.
