South African women's cricket team captain Dane van Niekerk and all-rounder Marizanne Kapp recently tied the knot. The South African teammates now become the second women's cricket pair after New Zealand's Amy Satterthwaite and Lea Tahuhu to get married. Kapp took to Instagram and posted a couple of images from the wedding with a ring emoji. Reportedly, the marriage ceremony was attended by most of the South African women’s cricket team players.

Interestingly, as per a report, the duo happens to be the first two girls to join a boys' cricket academy in South Africa. The two cricketers have been teammates at the Sydney Sixers in the Women's Big Bash League as well.
