Women’s T20 WC: Kapp’s Knock Probably One Of The Best I’ve Seen Under So Much Pressure, Says Wolvaardt
T20 World Cup: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt hailed Marizanne Kapp’s unbeaten 81 in the 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup win over India as ‘probably one of the best knocks I’ve seen under so much pressure,’ adding that the six‑wicket triumph at Old Trafford was ‘pretty special’ after last year’s ODI World Cup final defeat.
In a chase of 159, Marizanne, who picked two wickets earlier, struck a career‑best unbeaten 81 off 45 balls to lead her side to victory with five balls to spare. Her 97‑run stand with Tazmin Brits, who hit 40, became decisive in a chase that had looked improbable for the Proteas after a sluggish start in the power-play.
“What a finish. What a game. I think we were very stressed up on the bench there. I think to win from the position that we were in was absolutely incredible, and it’s probably one of the best knocks I’ve seen under so much pressure. And to do it against a side that we lost the final to as well is pretty special,” Laura said at the conclusion of the game.
