Marizanne Kapp, one of women's cricket's finest all-rounders, once again proved her worth with a brilliant performance for London Spirit in The Hundred. Playing against Birmingham Phoenix at Lord's, the South African star smashed three consecutive sixes on her way to a rapid 57 off just 28 balls. Her innings featured six maximums in total and came at a crucial time after her team's top order, including Charlie Dean and Grace Harris, had failed to fire.

Kapp's explosive batting completely changed the complexion of the chase, lifting London Spirit to a competitive total. In reply, Birmingham Phoenix could only manage 108 runs, falling short by 32 runs. Kapp also contributed with the ball, bowling 15 deliveries, conceding 9 dot balls, and taking the wicket of Jemima Spence. Her all-round display once again highlighted why she remains such a vital asset for any side she represents.
