Born in Ermelo, South Africa, Lizelle grew up with an innate athletic ability that could have taken her into javelin or hockey, but cricket won out, much to the dismay of opening bowlers worldwide. She isn't just a 'big hitter,' she’s a strategic aggressor.
Lizelle is famous for her incredible hand-eye coordination. She has this unique ability to stay relatively still and then explode through the ball, clearing boundaries that most players wouldn't even attempt.

When she retired from international cricket in 2022, it felt like a shift in the landscape. However, seeing her dominate the global T20 circuits has been a reminder that her brand of 'fearless cricket' is far from over. Her most recent endeavour comes in the Women's Premier League in India, where she will be playing for Delhi Capitals in the 2026 season.Â
