Dane van Niekerk is prone to teeing off right from the word go, and she did get off the blocks rather quickly in the title bout of The Hundred Women’s competition. Having pillaged Lauren Bell over mid-off on the very first ball of her second over, the freewheeling opener hoicked a half-volley over extra cover. Oval Invincibles were aided by twenties from van Niekerk, Fran Wilson and Marizanne Kapp as they posted a respectable 121/6 for Southern Brave.
Oh my! 🤩🔥
With shots like that, it’s no wonder @Danevn811 is the leading run-scorer! 👏 #TheHundred pic.twitter.com/dopzVtibew
