Women’s World Cup: Very Special Day And I'm So Glad We Won In The End, Says Wolvaardt
ODI World Cup: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt said her record-breaking century in the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup semifinal win over England was very special, as her childhood dream got fulfilled. Laura’s masterful 169 off 143 balls – her tenth ODI ton laced with 20 fours and four sixes - powered South Africa to a commanding 125-run win over England at the ACA Stadium, and booked a place in their first-ever 50-over World Cup final.
“It still feels a bit unreal. I think that's sort of the thing that you dream about as a kid, scoring 100 in a World Cup, knockout game as well. Very special day and I'm so glad we won in the end,” she said at the conclusion of the game.
Reflecting on her 116-run opening stand with Tazmin Brits, Laura said, “We knew the start would be crucial. I think Taz (Brits) and I have been really strong at the top of the order, and we've done well at the top. We've sort of picked up the rest of the line-up, so really happy we were able to get that partnership up front.”
