Women’s World Cup, Nonkululeko Mlaba claims 4-fer versus NZ: Stats
**Women’s World Cup: Nonkululeko Mlaba Claims Four-Wicket Haul Against New Zealand**
*By Rajdeep Saha | October 6, 2025, 6:42 PM*
South African spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba delivered a match-winning performance in a crucial ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 encounter against New Zealand at Indore. Mlaba’s brilliant bowling figures of 4/40 from her 10 overs played a pivotal role in restricting New Zealand and securing a vital advantage for her team.
New Zealand appeared to be in control at 187/3 in the 38th over, enjoying a strong 86-run partnership. However, Mlaba struck to break the stand and triggered a batting collapse. She returned in the 39th over and immediately dismissed a well-set Brooke Halliday, who had scored 45 runs, with the first ball — a slog sweep gone wrong.
Continuing her impressive spell, Mlaba claimed two more wickets in quick succession. In the 41st over, Maddy Green fell victim to a reverse sweep against Mlaba, followed by the dismissal of half-centurion Sophie Devine. She wrapped up the innings by taking the wicket of Lea Tahuhu, as New Zealand was bowled out for 231.
### Mlaba’s Career Stats and Impact
This four-wicket haul was Mlaba’s second in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs). She now has 42 wickets in 39 WODIs, boasting an average of 34.85 and an economy rate of 4.80. Notably, against New Zealand Women, she has taken 9 wickets in 4 matches at an outstanding average of 17.44, with an economy rate of 4.02.
Playing just her second match in the Women’s World Cup, Mlaba has made an immediate impact and opened her wicket account in the tournament. Her stellar performance underscores her growing reputation as a key bowler for South Africa in major international competitions.
