Proteas women’s captain Dane van Niekerk is backing the depth of their squad to compensate for Marizanne Kapp’s anticipated absence ahead of Thursday T20 World Cup semifinal against hosts Australia in Sydney.
Kapp has been laid low by a viral illness and a late call will be made on her availability for Thursday’s critical clash.
“We’re lucky enough to have 15 very talented players. Whatever decision that’s made‚ I’m confident that players will raise their hands and make sure she’s not missed too much. Van Niekerk said they have been focusing on themselves‚ but the thought of a first T20 World Cup final is tempting."We’ve been trying to build on what we’ve been doing well in each game. We try to park the negatives as much as possible.
