‘Clear minds’: Records fall and milestones reached as Proteas crush Zimbabwe
Laura Wolvaardt bashed a record ton, Karabo Meso made her maiden half-century and Annerie Dercksen took her first five-wicket haul.
Teenage sensation Karabo Meso and captain Laura Wolvaardt forged a solid partnership, with Meso making her first half-century and Wolvaardt breaking a record. The Proteas women's team secured an 80-run victory over Zimbabwe in the third T20 International in Bulawayo. Wolvaardt's record-breaking 126 runs off 62 balls left her as the highest scorer by a Proteas woman in a T20 International, surpassing Shandré Fritz's previous mark of 116 not out.
Meso contributed 50 runs off 51 balls, following a remarkable milestone of 14 runs in her previous 10 T20 International matches. With Annerie Dercksen taking a remarkable five-wicket haul, including 5/15, Zimbabwe struggled to 120 all out. The win solidified the Proteas' dominance in the five-match series.
