SA will mount another bid to win their first Women’s Cricket World Cup that starts on Friday in New Zealand after falling at the semifinal stage against hosts and eventual winners England in the last edition of the tournament five years ago.
The Momentum Proteas have been in destruction mode leading up to the World Cup as they racked up five successive ODI series wins that culminated in a 2-1 series triumph against a strong West Indies side in Johannesburg before they travelled to New Zealand.
“Overall where we are now as a squad and going to our first match, a change of scenery and a change of venue will do us good,” SA’s long-time serving coach Hilton Moreeng said from the team’s camp.The team arrived in New Zealand and settled in a managed isolation and quarantine facility used to house everyone arriving in the country for 10 days.
“We have a lot of cricketers now playing around the world and who watch a lot of cricket and also us as the coaching staff we sit and watch these games to see what is new and what the other teams are doing differently and try to get as much information as possible so that you don’t get any surprises.
