South Africa's Tazmin Brits is making history books in women's cricket. The 34-year-old batter carried on her scorching form in the Women's World Cup 2025 by hammering yet another century, this time against New Zealand in Indore. Returning to the match after a disastrous meltdown in their last game, where South Africa were dismissed for 69, Brits stood up to the challenge and played one of her best innings. Not only did her 87-ball century revive the campaign of South Africa but also she made her name in record books as the first player to ever score five WODI centuries in one calendar year. Brits Breaks Smriti Mandhana's and Meg Lanning's Records With this century, Brits broke Smriti Mandhana's record for the highest number of ODI hundreds in a calendar year. Mandhana had previously made four centuries each in 2024 and 2025, but Brits did one better to create a new record.

Brits also broke Meg Lanning's record for the quickest to seven WODI centuries. Lanning had taken 44 innings to achieve the feat, whereas Brits did it in a mere 41 innings, which proves her unparalleled consistency and dominance within the format.

She has scored 101, 5, 171, 101, and 101, four of them centuries, in her previous five ODI innings. It's perhaps the best spell of form any player has produced in women's cricket, in any era. She has now 7 WODI hundreds in only 41 innings, and in her previous 11 innings, she has mustered 749 runs at a mean of 83.22, figures that testify to her dominance at the crease. In her recent innings against New Zealand, Brits showed her characteristic aggressive yet strategic style. She scored her ton in 86 balls, with 15 fours and one six, keeping South Africa well ahead in the run chase of 232 runs.
