Mulder came to the crease when South Africa were 11 for 1 after Tony de Zorzi’s dismissal. He came in at number 3, and after the early loss of Lesego Senokwane as well, he and David Bedingham built a solid partnership.

At the time of writing, South Africa are 243-3, with Wiaan Mulder unbeaten on 133 from 156 balls. His knock includes 18 fours and one six.

Another Century Strengthens Wiaan Mulder’s Case at No.3

Wiaan Mulder has been doing really well with both bat and ball in the series against Zimbabwe. He did not perform well in the WTC 2025 Final, scoring just 4 and 27 runs and taking only one wicket. But after that, he made a strong return. In the first Test against Zimbabwe, he scored a century in the second innings and also took four wickets in the first innings.

Now, with another century in the second Test, Mulder is gradually cementing his place at number 3 in South Africa’s Test lineup. He previously batted lower down the order, but South Africa have tried different players in the number 3 position in recent times. Since the series against Pakistan earlier this year, Mulder has taken up that role and has continued in it.
