South Africa have made history, beating New Zealand in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, for the first time in 24 years 👏👏👏 The last time the Proteas beat New Zealand in this tournament was back in Birmingham in 1999 🙌

After losing my dad in 2012, I lost my passion for cricket and couldn't return to broadcasting until 2015. Mom's recent passing made me realize that cricket would help me heal. Grateful to my

series 🙏❤️
There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude to the people of Pakistan for welcoming us with open arms as cricket returned to this beautiful country. We will be back again!

In the early 1900s, my great grandparents embarked on a journey from Andhra Pradesh to South Africa, seeking a new life. Today, I’m in Hyderabad, filled with emotion, as I work on a remarkable assignment here, driven by my love for cricket.

10 years ago, Aiden Markram led South Africa to its only Cricket World Cup title, winning the U19 Men's World Cup, with Kagiso Rabada starring in the semifinal and Markram top-scoring in the final. They now play in a senior World Cup semifinal as SA dreams big 🇿🇦

Today marks 20 years since I made my cricket broadcasting debut! I am so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love for so many years while being able enjoy a wonderful family life at the same time ❤️ Spent the day in amazing company ahead of a magical few weeks 🙌
I fell in love with cricket in 1992 because of the legendary Barbadian commentator Donna Symmonds! Today, I called a Men’s Cricket World Cup final in Barbados. I've been in touch with Donna throughout this tournament, and it's great to have her support ❤️🙏

Proud of

Full circle moment ❤️ I worked as a cricket broadcaster when they both played and today I got to call a Men’s Cricket World Cup game with both of them 🙌

Years of waiting are finally over! Aiden Markram’s team becomes the first senior South African men’s side to reach an ICC Cricket World Cup final 🔥 Set up beautifully by the bowlers and guided home by sensible batting as they beat Afghanistan in the first semi 🙌

What a win for South Africa 👏👏👏 Only the third time the Proteas have beaten Australia in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup!!! 1992,2019 and now 2023 🔥🔥🔥

Today marks 19 years in cricket broadcasting. I anchored my first ever cricket match on this day in 2003. It’s been a journey that has ebbed and flowed. I now find myself having the best time in my career and the passion for what I do continues to run deep.

The biggest thanks must go to India for agreeing to the tour in these difficult times. It shows what this

Tatjana Schoenmaker is only the eighth South African woman to win an Olympic medal since unity. It is over 20 years since a female South African swimmer has won an Olympic medal. So much to celebrate as SA women’s sport is elevated on the world stage 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

South African fans, I would not take Afghanistan lightly. Getting calls and messages asking who South Africa would prefer to play in the final. My response is simple: “They have to get past Afghanistan first”

When I started my cricket broadcasting career in 2003, I never dreamt I would be able to achieve what I have. Being in Pakistan on this International Women’s Day has been a full circle moment for me. Always grateful to do what I do while being a mom and wife.

I still support Siya Kolisi. I wish someone would pull him aside and remind him it is not his job to message transformation for South African Rugby. His job is to unite a truly representative team on the field.
GAMECHANGER!!
Refiloe Jane has changed the game. Her historic move to AC Milan will open more doors internationally for our women’s footballers. Proud of you, Refiloe! You are a sponsor’s dream and the ideal brand ambassador 🙌

Shout out to Indian cricket media, who are by far the biggest supporters of women’s cricket, and not just the Indian team. Your work to raise the profile of the women’s game is appreciated 🙌

Let’s put Keshav Maharaj’s hat-trick into perspective. He is the first South African cricketer in the modern era to achieve this feat. What an achievement!!
I sincerely hope that South Africa’s historic tour to Pakistan encourages more international teams to tour there. It’s an experience of a lifetime for everyone, both on and off the field.

This team ❤️ You have already made South Africa proud 🇿🇦 Enjoy today, go out there and soak up this historic occasion!! The Rainbow nation is behind you all the way 🙌

Thanks for the robust debate around Siya Kolisi. His job is to win on the field. We don't ask Faf du Plessis about transformation. We ask him about SA striving to win World Cups and aiming to become number 1 in Tests. Why is Siya being put under this pressure in World Cup year?
Andile Phehlukwayo hits the winning runs and South Africa win by five wickets!! Hats off to Rassie van der Dussen for holding the innings together as South Africa chase down 245 with 15 balls to spare!!
