A sparkling partnership by Chloe Tryon and Nadine de Klerk steered the Proteas women to victory in the opening ODI against New Zealand at JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom on Sunday.

India women's team star batter Smriti Mandhana achieved a new milestone on Friday in the ongoing The Hundred Women's Competition. Playing for Southern Brave, Mandhana played an unbeaten knock of 70 runs against Welsh Fire and became the registered the highest number of fifty plus scores in the history of the Women's Hundred. The 27-year-old batter has now got five fifty plus scores but her brilliant innings also could not help the Braves in defeating the Fire as the Anya Shrubsole-led side ended up losing by four runs.

Australia won the Women's T20 World Cup for the sixth time when they beat South Africa by 19 runs in the final at Newlands on Sunday.

South Africa were never up with the required run rate and were restricted to 137 for six despite opener Laura Wolvaardt hitting 61 off 48 balls.
Sunday 26 February 2023 was an historic day for women’s sport in South Africa before a ball was even bowled. A sellout crowd at Newlands, in a country where women’s cricket is rarely even ticketed. Queues snaking down the road as 13,000 spectators filed in to witness this never-before-seen occasion – South Africa in a cricket World Cup final. A rousing, emotional rendition of their national anthem before play, which had Marizanne Kapp sobbing.
