South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt continues to rewrite record books. With her century in the World Cup final against India in Navi Mumbai, she has now moved to 11 ODI hundreds, joining the elite list of greatest run-scorers in women’s ODI history.
Most hundreds in Women’s ODIs
- 15 – Meg Lanning (Australia)
- 14 – Smriti Mandhana (India)
- 13 – Suzie Bates (New Zealand)
- 12 – Tammy Beaumont (England)
- 11 – Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa)
- 10 – Nat Sciver-Brunt (England)
At just 25, Wolvaardt has surged past several modern legends and now sits just four centuries behind Meg Lanning — the ultimate benchmark in women’s cricket.
Her latest knock — a composed, pressure-soaked hundred in a World Cup final — summed up her maturity and big-match temperament. Calm at the crease, flawless off the front foot, and ruthless against spin, Wolvaardt ensured South Africa stayed alive in their chase against India.
This World Cup has become a defining chapter in her career — a semifinal ton, a final ton, and now another milestone on the all-time batting charts.
The chase is on — on the field, and in the record books.
