Nadine de Klerk on Monday smashed the fastest 50 in this year’s edition of the women’s Hundred and the second-fastest in the tournament’s history.
The 23-year-old South African hit 51* from 25 balls to help the Oval Invincibles post 155-6.
A powerful display of batting from Nadine de Klerk! 🔥

Former Proteas opener Lizelle Lee then smashed 61 from 33 balls, but it wasn’t enough for the Trent Rockets, who finished three runs short on 152-8.
Lizelle Lee has been at her destructive best today! 🙌
