Tazmin Brits created history by scoring her fifth century of the year during South Africa’s commanding win over New Zealand in their clash in the ongoing Women’s World Cup on Monday in Indore.

South Africa opened their account at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup with a comfortable six-wicket win over New Zealand.

Brits five hundred in a year is the most-ever in a calendar year for the women’s game. Indian opener Smriti Mandhana previously held the record, having hit four tons twice in 2024 and 2025.

Brits opened the innings alongside Laura Wolvaardt in pursuit of 232 runs. Although Wolvaardt fell early, Brits formed a crucial partnership with Sune Luus, helping South Africa bounce back from their disappointing 69-run defeat to England in their previous match.
