Vanda Wesenhagen (born 1957) is a former Dutch international cricketer who represented the Dutch national team between 1981 and 1990, including at the 1988 World Cup. She played as a middle-order batsman and occasional medium-pace bowler.
Wesenhagen made her international debut for the Netherlands at the 1981 Engeland tour, and 1983 Centenary Tournament in Utrecht, playing against Denmark.[1] She opened the bowling with Chantal Grevers, and came in fourth in the batting order.[2] In a three-day match against Ireland in 1987 (an unofficial Test), Wesenhagen was the leading run-scorer in her team's first innings, making 12 out of a team total of 55. She was promoted to open the batting in the second innings, but made only eight runs as the Netherlands lost by an innings and 19 runs.[3] Selected in the Dutch squad for the 1988 World Cup in Australia, Wesenhagen played in six of her team's eight matches – her first One Day International (ODI) appearances.[4] She made 66 runs, the second-most for her team behind Anita van Lier's 159,[5] and her highest score was 41 not out on debut against Ireland.[6] After the World Cup, Wesenhagen made appearances at two further ODI tournaments – the 1989 and 1990 European Cups.[4]
