The South African women’s cricket team is determined to make the most of their opportunities in the semi-finals of the ICC Women’s World Cup against the defending champions, England.
The Proteas have been one of the best-performing sides in the world cup in New Zealand, but they have to prove that they can win on the biggest stage against the world’s best. Should they beat England in the semis, Australia awaits them in the final, afterWhile the Proteas are hard at work in Christchurch, back home their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The team will enter the semi-finals knowing just who they represent and what they are playing for.
Ever since this team turned professional, the women’s game has grown and the spotlight is now firmly on a Proteas team with a habit getting wins in tightly contested matches. In the past few years few national sides have grown quite like this side. With the best batter in this world cup in Laura Wolvaardt, a bowler with a knack for taking crucial wickets in Shabnim Ismail and an all-rounder that clinches games in Marizanne Kapp, this Proteas side has players primed for the big occasion when the match could rest on one special play.
Sport often throws up fixtures that give sides a second chance, this is true for the Proteas as they get an opportunity to put to rest the memories of a 2017 semi-final defeat to England, who would go on to win the world cup. However the Proteas are a completely different entity now, and barely give the 2017 world cup any thought at all.
