Kapp’s a good weekend

- By GARY FITZGERALD

MARIZANNE KAPP produced an explosive bowling spell as Oval Invincible­s were crowned women’s first Hundred champions.

The South African star stole the show with an outstandin­g all-round display hitting a rapid 26 and taking 4-9 in her side’s 48-run triumph over Southern Brave.

After Invincible­s amassed 121-6 off their 100 balls, Kapp (right) completed the victory by bowling Lauren Bell as they dismissed their rivals for just 73 in what was a one-sided affair at Lord’s.

Invincible­s captain Dane van Niekerk, who also led by example with the bat where she was joint top scorer with 26, said: “It feels fantastic to be the first side to win this trophy.

“It is a special moment for all those who have given so much to the cause.

“We came to win the trophy and we got it.”
