The Proteas Women captain anchors a dominant chase, with support from Sune Luus, to seal victory in the third T20I at the Wanderers.
Johannesburg, South Africa (23 April 2026)- There was little doubt about who was in control as Laura Wolvaardt took charge at the Wanderers Stadium, guiding South Africa to a convincing win over India.
The Proteas Women’s captain delivered a standout performance at the Wanderers Stadium, producing a commanding T20 International century to guide South Africa to a dominant nine-wicket win over India in the third match of the series.
From the outset, her innings combined precision and power, as she raced to a half-century in just 23 balls.
Boundaries flowed all around the ground, while her growing confidence saw her clear the ropes with authority, turning what could have been a routine chase into a statement performance.

At the other end, Sune Luus quietly played a crucial supporting role. Unbeaten on 64, she ensured the momentum never dipped, forming part of a powerful opening partnership that effectively decided the match early.

The batting unit looked settled, composed and in sync. For Wolvaardt, it was a knock that underlined her influence not just as a batter, but as a leader. And again, setting the standard and carrying the team.
