Unstoppable Brits Blazes South Africa Back on Track with Record-Breaking Century

Tazmin Brits delivered a sensational century to revive South Africa’s Women’s World Cup campaign. After a crushing loss to England, the Proteas needed a spark — and Brits provided it with 101 off 89 balls against New Zealand in Indore, smashing 15 fours and a six. This marked her fifth ODI hundred in a single calendar year, making history.

Chasing 232, South Africa won comfortably by six wickets with 55 balls to spare, thanks to Brits’ masterful innings and a 159-run partnership with Sune Luus. The victory improved their net run rate from -3.773 to -1.402, signaling a major turnaround.

Brits’ journey from junior world javelin champion to cricket star is inspiring. After a career-ending accident in 2011, she transformed setbacks into a record-breaking comeback. Her versatile batting and leadership make her a true match-winner. With confidence restored, the Proteas now face India with renewed hope.
