Marizanne Kapp contributed a well-played 60 during the first Women’s T20I against Sri Lanka at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on 27 March 2024. Her 116-run partnership with captain Laura Wolfaardt helped the Proteas women to a decisive 79-run victory over Sri Lanka.
It’s Wolvaardt’s sixth international century, with the previous five coming in the One Day International format. This one, however, she ranks as the best of the lot. “I was really happy with how calm I was out there. I was able to keep my shape and cash in at the end and put up a big score, so very happy with that.”Wolvaardt became only the third-ever Proteas women to knock a T20I century, after Shandre Fritz and Lizelle Lee.
Wolvaardt started her innings tentatively, bringing up her 50 after facing 39 balls. Her next 50 took a mere 23 balls, as the elegant stroke-maker hit 12 fours and three big sixes. “I was getting slightly frustrated that I wasn’t finding the boundaries as much… I was hovering around that 125 strike rate for quite a while.
