On Saturday, Proteas women’s squad comes up against an Australian outfit which is a paradigm of consistency. The South Africans will have to dig deep in order to win and keep their hopes of reaching the knockouts largely in their hands.
Two teams at opposite ends of the spectrum. Australia — five-time T20 World Cup winners who are chasing their third in a row and sixth overall. South Africa, chasing a maiden World Cup final and as a consequence, their first-ever World Cup gold medal.
By contrast, the Proteas cannot afford to lose. Or else their destiny to the semifinals will cease to be in their hands — with one game to play after their tussle with the defending champions in the Eastern Cape. The batting woes of Moreeng’s charges have persisted in the tournament — as highlighted in that shocker against Sri Lanka.
“The previous game was by no means our best game. But we seem to improve as we go along, that’s the most important thing — that we keep improving.”
