The Proteas Women thrashed Ireland by 189 runs in Dublin on Friday to win the ODI series 3-0.
The visitors posted 278-5 in their 50 overs thanks to 89 off 128 balls from Laura Wolvaardt and captain Suné Luus’ 104-ball 93. The dominant duo put on 177 runs for the third wicket.
In her 77th ODI, the 23-year-old Wolvaardt became the youngest woman, fastest South African woman and joint-third fastest woman overall to reach 3,000 ODI runs.
