Striker Non-Striker "A Couple"

-
Have you ever seen a married couple batting together in international cricket ?
Your Answer on 11th November,2018 would have been
NONE Or What a stupid question!!!!
but your answer and facts have changed in the span of a day .
The answer today will be South African captain Dane van Niekerk and South African All rounder Marizanne Kapp .




South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk and her wife Marizanne Kapp became the first ever married pair to bat together in an ICC tournament, achieving the feat against Sri Lanka in Women's World T20 on Monday.
The duo shared a third-wicket stand of 67 to help South Africa win.
They also took their respective 50th T20I wickets in the match.



Congratulations to the couple and Jaw drop for others (“including me) who thought that this “was” impossible.
