The Answer on 11 November,2018 would have been
None OR What a stupid question!!!!
But the answer and facts have changed in the span of a day .
As of 12 November,2018 the answer is South African captain Dane van Niekerk and South African All rounder Marizanne Kapp .
South Africa captain Dane van Niekerk and her wife Marizanne Kapp became the first ever married pair to bat together in an ICC tournament, achieving the feat against Sri Lanka in Women's World T20 on Monday.
