Timeline
Sunette Stella Viljoen-Louw (born 6 October 1983) is a South African sportswoman who has represented her country in both cricket and athletics.
As a cricketer, she represented the South African national team between 2000 and 2002, including at the 2000 World Cup in New Zealand.
Viljoen was born in Rustenburg, Transvaal (present-day North West).

Viljoen made her international cricket debut for South Africa in June 2000, in a One Day International (ODI) match against England.

Later in the year, Viljoen was selected in the South African squad for the 2000 Women's World Cup in New Zealand.
A right-handed all-rounder, she appeared in all eight of her team's matches at the tournament, and against England scored 54 not out, which was to be the highest score of her ODI career.
Against Ireland in a later match, she took 3/27 from ten overs, the best bowling figures of her international career.
Viljoen's final international matches for South Africa came in March 2002, in a home series against India.
She played four ODIs and the only Test match of her career, in which she scored 17 runs in the first innings and 71 in the second (the third-highest score of the match).
In December 2021, Viljoen made a return to cricket, joining Northerns with the aim of playing for her country again.
