Tazmin Brits Breaks Multiple ODI Records in World Cup 2025 Clash
6 Oct
Summary
- Tazmin Brits slams 7th ODI century, 4th in last 5 matches
- Breaks Mandhana's record for most ODI tons in a year
- Fastest to 7 ODI centuries, beating Meg Lanning's record
On October 6, 2025, South African opener Tazmin Brits showcased her exceptional talent by scoring a blistering century in her team's World Cup 2025 clash against New Zealand. Brits' ton, her seventh in the format, came off just 86 balls and was laced with 15 fours and a six.
With this century, Brits shattered a couple of significant world records. Firstly, she broke India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana's record for most ODI centuries in a calendar year. Mandhana had scored four tons each in 2024 and 2025, and Brits was tied with her this year. However, the South African opener went past the Indian star to become the first batter to hit five ODI centuries in a single year.
Furthermore, Brits also broke legendary former Australian captain Meg Lanning's record for the fewest innings taken to score seven centuries in women's ODIs. Brits achieved this feat in just 41 innings, surpassing Lanning's previous record of 44 innings.
Brits' sensational performance in the ongoing World Cup has been a testament to her growing stature in the women's game. With this century, she has firmly established herself as one of the most prolific run-scorers in the format, cementing her place as a key player for South Africa in the tournament.
