Only a few centuries have been scored so far in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in England, but every century has been historic for some reason or the other. One such century was scored by South Africa’s opener Tazmin Brits, whose bat burnt the Netherlands’ bowling. In this World Cup group stage match, South Africa needs not just a win but a big win at any cost. At such a time, Tazmin Britts scored a big century and took the team to a big score.
Scored his first career century in the World Cup itself
After Team India’s victory over Bangladesh, it was even more important for South Africa to win this match. To race to the semi-finals, he needed to win by a big margin. For this he chose to bat first and scored a huge score of 206 runs. The reason for this was the Brits, who had come for the opening. This experienced batsman destroyed the weak bowling of Netherlands and finally completed his century. Brits then completed his century in 63 balls.
The special thing about this innings of Brits was that this was his first century in T20 International. Earlier, in the 81 T20 International matches played, she had managed to score half-centuries 15 times but could never reach a century. But this time it happened. Brittas remained unbeaten after scoring 114 runs in 69 balls, which included 15 fours and 3 sixes. Thanks to this inning, South Africa batted first and scored 208 runs.
Played a strong innings against India
Talking about Brits’ T20 International career, he had played many important innings before this match. He had scored 1958 runs in his 81 T20 match career. During this period he had scored 15 half-centuries and his best score was 98 runs not out. But now his best score has become 116 runs. In this World Cup, Brits got a chance only in the match against India and in that he played a strong inning of 40 runs and played a big role in helping the team win.
