South Africa’s Tazmin Brits scored a hundred against New Zealand in the Women’s World Cup 2025 match at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on October 6. She faced 86 balls and hit 15 boundaries and 1 six.

It was her fifth ODI ton in 2025, the most-ever in a calendar year in women’s cricket. Indian opening batter Smriti Mandhana was the previous record holder, having smashed 4 hundreds each in 2024 and 2025.

The New Zealand player has amassed seven centuries in ODIs in 41 innings. She is the quickest to reach the milestone, going past Meg Lanning, who took 44 innings to reach the landmark.

England’s Tammy Beaumont (62) and New Zealand’s Suzie Bates (81) are next on the list. She celebrated the century with a bow-and-arrow gesture. The Proteas won the game by six wickets after dismissing the White Ferns for 231.

Nonkululeko Mlaba took 4 wickets and restricted the New Zealand’s middle and lower order.
