Not only will Hilton Moreeng’s team be motivated to win a fourth series in succession when they start their ODI series against the West Indies at the Wanderers on Friday, the four-match series offers final preparations for both teams before the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, to be hosted by New Zealand from March 4 to April 3.

Luus and the team are correct to be preoccupied with getting their combinations right because they go into combat against a competitive West Indies side without their star opening batter, Lizelle Lee, who was last week named the ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year. Lee usually opens the batting with Laura Wolvaardt, who missed the warm-up match, and the pair is expected to open at the World Cup.
