South Africa's Madison Landsman made history on Monday as she became the first woman to take a hat-trick at the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup.

The U19 T20 Women's World Cup is currently under way with South Africa in Group B alongside India, Ireland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

On Monday, Kayla Reyneke scored 52 off 49 balls (hitting five fours and a six) against Scotland as South Africa posted 112-7.

In Scotland's run chase, Landsman stepped up to bowl the 15th over and wrote herself into the record books with a match-defining hat-trick.
