South Africa’s female cricketers are looking to the future after a disappointing spell.
The Proteas women have an ideal opportunity to break the country’s duck in international cricket tournaments at next year’s T20 World Cup, to be held in South Africa.
In 2020, they got through the T20 World Cup group stages undefeated and met tournament favourites and hosts Australia in the semifinal. They heartbreakingly lost in a rain-affected match by five runs. South Africa followed the England tour with their worst tournament display at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham since the 2013 50-over World Cup, when they failed to reach the semifinals.
“We figured, going into the Commonwealth Games, everything was going to click. We recognised that, we spoke about it, we wanted to rectify things. But it wasn’t meant to be for us,” she said.
