Can a cricket team win a match when Ten members score duck (zero runs)? Those having even diminutive knowledge about cricket would utter NO. This unbelievable incident however occurred during the ongoing Cricket South Africa's Under-19 Girls National Cricket Week.

Batting first, 9 players of Mpumalanga Under-19 women's side got out for zero and one player stood not out scoring zero runs. Despite the 10 players contributing ZERO runs, the team managed to score 169-9 in the designated 20 overs, thanks to the sterling batting display of opener Shania-Lee Swart, who scored 160 with the help of 18 fours and 12 sixes. The remaining 9 runs came in the form of extras.

In reply, Easterns Under-19 could score only 127-6, thus handing a comprehensive 42 runs victory to Mpumalanga. After scoring 160, Swart starred in the bowling department as well. She claimed 2-21 from her four overs.

Shania-Lee Swart scored close to 95 per cent of her team's total, which is a world record in any format.
