Marizanne Kapp (

South Africa national women's cricket team.[2] She was the first cricketer for South Africa to take a hat-trick in a Women's Twenty20 International match.[3]

Career

In December 2017, she was named as one of the players in the ICC Women's ODI Team of the Year.[4]

In March 2018, she was one of fourteen players to be awarded a national contract by

against the West Indies.[6][7]

In October 2018, she was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies.[8][9] She was the leading run-scorer for South Africa in the tournament, with 98 runs in four matches.[10]

In November 2018, she was named in the Sydney Sixers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.[11][12] In May 2019, in the first WODI against Pakistan, Kapp became the third cricketer for South Africa to play in 100 WODI matches.[13]

In September 2019, she was named in the

inaugural season of The Hundred.[18]

In February 2022, she was named in South Africa's team for the 2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.[19] On 14 March 2022, in South Africa's World Cup match against England, Kapp took her first five-wicket haul in WODI cricket.[20]

In April 2022, she was bought by the

2022 season of The Hundred in England. They later won the competition and she was named Player of the Match for her match-winning innings in the final.[21]

In May 2022, she played two matches for the Falcons team at the 2022 FairBreak Invitational T20 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[2] In the final of the Invitational, against the Tornadoes team, she made 67* with six fours and two sixes, and was awarded player of the match, but her outstanding performance was not enough to prevent the Tornadoes from winning the tournament.[2][22]

In June 2022, in the one-off Test against England, Kapp scored her first century in Test cricket, with 150 runs.[23] Her total was also the highest individual score for South Africa in a women's Test match.[24] In July 2022, she was named in South Africa's team for the cricket tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.[25] However, Kapp was later ruled out of the tournament due to family reasons.[26]

Personal life

In July 2018, she married her teammate and captain of the South African Women's cricket team Dane van Niekerk.[27]
