Ab De Villiers Helped Me Manage My Emotions, Says Future Proteas Women's Star Karabo Meso

The Tuks Main Oval has seen some special innings from the likes of Indian legend Rohit Sharma and Proteas batter Reeza Hendricks over the years.

Last Saturday, teenager Karabo Meso added her name to the honours list at the University of Pretoria by entertaining all and sundry with her vast range of strokes to raise her bat for the maiden Schools SA20 century.

The achievement held even greater gravitas with her 117 not out powering Steyn City to an emphatic 99-run victory over St Christians School to claim the inaugural Schools SA20 championship.

It was an innings of the highest calibre. Meso, 17, showed her experience by initially easing her way to 66 off 53 balls.

But with the departure of her good friend and fellow SA U19 international Diara Ramlakan, Meso lifted the handbrake and put her foot firmly on the pedal to utilise just 10 further balls to reach the three-figure mark.
