he two most in-form batters of the year in women’s ODIs before the ICC Women’s World Cup were Smriti Mandhana and Tazmin Brits. Both had already scored four centuries each in 2025.

While Mandhana had two chances to improve her record — in Guwahati against Sri Lanka and in Colombo against Pakistan — she missed out. On the other hand, South Africa’s Brits broke the record on Monday in Indore against New Zealand. She became the first player ever to score five centuries in a calendar year in women’s ODIs. The previous record was held by Mandhana, with four centuries in both 2024 and 2025.

Brits has changed South African cricket by becoming the first woman to score five tons in a year. Her journey to the top was not easy. She was a former World Junior Athletics Championships bronze medallist in javelin and also met the qualification mark for the 2012 London Olympics.

However, she faced a terrible accident while driving to celebrate her achievement. Looking at her phone while driving caused a crash. She suffered multiple pelvic fractures, a burst bladder, and internal bleeding.

With the help of her parents, physiotherapists, and psychologists, Brits made a near-miraculous recovery. After a year of treatment, she began walking again.

In this article, we will share her journey, the reason behind this celebration, and more.

Tazmin Brits Shines in Stunning World Cup Turnaround

After being bowled out for just 69 in Guwahati and losing to England by 10 wickets, South Africa made a stunning comeback. Led by Laura Wolvaardt, they chased 232 in 40.5 overs, bringing their World Cup campaign back on track.

Brits, a former javelin thrower who won bronze at the 2010 World U20 Championships with a best throw of 54.55m, had her Olympic dream crushed after a car accident in November 2011. Despite suffering multiple pelvic fractures, a burst bladder, and internal injuries, she made a remarkable recovery. Today, the Olympic rings tattooed on her right bicep were visible as she celebrated her 7th ODI century.

Brits continued throwing javelin until 2018 but has become one of South Africa’s top batters in white-ball cricket. On Monday, she became the fastest player to reach seven ODI centuries, achieving the milestone in just 41 innings and breaking Meg Lanning’s record of 44 innings.

“It feels great. I’m glad we could pull this one through. We needed it after the first game. I’m not one for records, but beating Meg Lanning is nice. As long as we are winning, I’m happy,” Brits said.

- Won Gold Medal in 2007 World Youth Championship in Javelin throw.
- Won Bronze Medal in 2010 World Championship in Javelin throw.
- Now Part of South Africa team.
- 4 Hundreds in last 5 ODI innings.

Record-Breaking Year for Brits

While she started her cricket career slowly with low strike rates, Brits has improved steadily:

2021: Average 27.33, Strike Rate 52.22

2022: Average 16.33, Strike Rate 55.05

2023: Average 33.22, Strike Rate 87.94

2024: Average 27.55, Strike Rate 72.51

2025: Average 83.22, Strike Rate 96.14

Brits said, “I’m just backing myself more now. I’m staying positive and working on my batting. Batting camps helped a lot. I’m trying to be more than one-dimensional. In this chase, I just focused on middling the balls. Also, I used a new bat today; I think it’s lucky.”

Earlier in the day, Sophie Devine scored a fluent half-century, but South Africa fought back with Nonkululeko Mlaba taking four wickets to restrict New Zealand to 231.

Brits’ signature celebrations have become famous. She usually does a ballerina pose for her dad and teammate Masabata Klaas’s 13-year-old daughter. On Monday, she celebrated differently, going down on one knee like an archer and pointing to her teammates.

“I always do a ballerina for my dad at 50. Today, two 13-year-old girls from South Africa and Australia asked me to do this celebration for them,” she said.

Breaking Smriti Mandhana’s Record

Previously, Smriti Mandhana held the record with four centuries in a calendar year (2024 and 2025). Brits’ fifth century pushed her past Mandhana, making her the first woman to achieve five centuries in a single year in ODIs.

Brits also became the fastest player to reach seven ODI centuries, doing so in just 41 innings, breaking Meg Lanning’s record of 44 innings.

Consistent Form in 2025

Throughout 2025, Brits has shown exceptional consistency and adaptability. She rotates strike well and builds partnerships, making her South Africa’s most reliable top-order batter. Each innings shows maturity, smart shot selection, and confidence, turning her into a match-winner.

In the World Cup match against New Zealand, South Africa’s bowlers, led by Mlaba, restricted the White Ferns to 231. Brits anchored the chase with her century, guiding her team to victory and securing a place among the top five teams in the World Cup standings. She was awarded Player of the Match, capping a memorable day for South African cricket.

In Match 7 of the Women's World Cup 2025, the South Africa Women team achieved an easy six-wicket victory over New Zealand Women at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, India. New Zealand captain Sophie Devine won the toss and chose to bat first. Devine led from the front with a solid 85 off 98 balls, while Brooke Halliday (45 off 37) and Georgia Plimmer (31 off 68) provided useful support. However, in a brilliant 4 for 40 display, Nonkululeko Mlaba kept New Zealand to 231 all out in 47.5 overs.

Chasing 232, South Africa Women were dominant from the start. Tazmin Brits played a sensational innings of 101 off 89 balls, while Sune Luus remained unbeaten on 83 off 114 deliveries. Their 159-run stand for the second wicket set the foundation for South Africa’s successful chase, as they reached the target comfortably in 40.5 overs. Amelia Kerr picked up 2 for 62 for New Zealand but couldn’t stop the inevitable.

With this win, South Africa climbed to fifth on the points table, while New Zealand stayed winless at seventh with zero points. Tazmin Brits was named Player of the Match for her outstanding century, her fifth of 2025, as South Africa bounced back strongly after their opening defeat.

NZ-W vs SA-W: Who Said What?

Tazmin Brits (Player of the Match):

“It feels great to win, especially after our first game. Becoming the fastest batter to score seven WODI hundreds is special, but winning for my team matters most. I just backed myself and stayed positive. My celebration was for two young girls, one in Australia and one in South Africa, who asked me to dedicate it to them — and my fifty will always be for my dad.”

Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa Women Captain):

“Such an amazing turnaround. This was something we knew we were capable of in that first game. I’m really happy with how we bounced back today. Mlaba’s second spell was amazing, and our death bowling plans worked perfectly. Fielding has been our strength, and I’m glad we did well as a unit. Tazmin is phenomenal right now, I think she’s scored six hundreds in her last 11 games. We’ll enjoy this win but start fresh for the next match against India.”

Sophie Devine (New Zealand Captain):

"It was a different pitch. I still feel it was a 270-280 wicket. We continuously lost wickets and couldn't have a crack at the backend. Disappointing for us today. We have spoken about it. We have to win a lot of games. A little bit of pressure on us for the rest of the games. We know where we stand and know what we have to do. We will reflect on this game. There are still some things that went well during both innings but we know that in this competition you can't just play half a game. Disappointing but a very long way to go in this tournament. I would have enjoyed a bit more if we won. Just really grateful and humbled that I've had the opportunity to pull on this shirt 300 times. Each and every tie I do, I just want to give my absolute best to this group of people and what it means to the people back home as well."

South Africa Women secured the away ODI series against Pakistan Women after winning the close contest in the second ODI at Lahore, where the South African openers set a new record for the country with a great partnership.

Trailing the series by 0-1, Pakistan Women sent the visitors to bat first. South Africa Women scored 292/3 in 46 overs, with the hosts having a revised target of 313 runs in 46 overs. South African openers Tazmin Brits and captain Laura Wolvaardt set a solid partnership of 260 runs for the first wicket. While the skipper scored 100 off 129 balls with 10 fours, Brits scored 171 not out off 141 balls with 20 fours and four sixes. While they batted for 43.1 overs, their partnership entered into some special record books, which are listed below.

• It was the third-highest partnership for the opening wicket in Women's ODI history.
• It was the sixth-highest partnership for any wickets in Women's ODI history.
