Veteran South African all-rounder Sune Luus has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 2,500 runs in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs). The 29-year-old achieved the landmark with her ninth run during the ICC Women’s World Cup match against New Zealand at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. South Africa is currently chasing a target of 232 runs.
### Batting Stats
Playing her 136th WODI, Luus has amassed over 2,500 runs at an average exceeding 24, according to ESPNcricinfo. She has scored 16 half-centuries in the format, including one century. Her strike rate hovers around 66, showcasing her ability to score at a steady pace.
Having made her WODI debut back in 2012, Luus became the sixth South African woman to cross the 2,500-run mark, underlining her importance and longevity in the national setup.
### Bowling Stats
Sune Luus is equally effective with the ball. She has taken 116 wickets in WODIs at an impressive average of 23.33. Her bowling highlights include five five-wicket hauls and three four-wicket hauls. Notably, she ranks just behind West Indies’ Anisa Mohammed, who has six five-wicket hauls in WODIs.
With this feat, Luus joins an elite group of just eight all-rounders who have achieved the double of 2,500 runs and 100 wickets in Women’s ODIs, underlining her value as a genuine all-round asset for South Africa.
