So, first up, congratulations to them.

Sune Luus and her prices had been shocked in their opening sport by Sri Lanka which put them on the again foot, however they bounced again in opposition to New Zealand, however then misplaced to Australia.

It was a measured and managed run chase with key batter Wolvaardt lastly discovering some kind, although her timing was nonetheless considerably off, however let’s hope this was the innings to kick-start her match – even when there are solely doubtlessly a handful of video games left.

Fielding

The solely division that functioned beneath customary was the fielding. It was sloppy at instances and coach Hilton Moreeng might be desperate to get it mounted up shortly as a result of the Proteas will should be working at full throttle in their semi-final.

The excellent news is the Proteas will go into their last-four match with confidence having acquired the job performed in swift style in opposition to Bangladesh.

There weren’t too many hiccups, and as Wolvaardt mentioned after the match on Tuesday, the squad have “pulled together as a group” since the begin of the match and can now stay up for a historic event on Friday.

Favourites

They’ve been certainly one of the sport’s high groups for a whereas and appear to have South Africa’s quantity, however in a knock-out sport something is possible and the Proteas might be underneath no stress.

Wolvaardt, Shabnim Ismail, Nonkululeko Mlaba and Marizanne Kapp and Co will have the ability to play with freedom and they’re positive to have a licence to precise themselves (inside cause in fact).

Here’s wishing Luus and her staff the perfect of luck.
