SA Women's captain Sune Luus has called on her top order batters to up their game after they confirmed their place in the semifinal stage of the ICC Women’s World Cup in New Zealand on Thursday.
“Lizelle Lee at the top and our No.3 spot as well. Our bowling keeps hitting their strides and we pride ourselves on our fielding, so we would like to improve on our batting,” she said, adding that they are happy to be in the semis.
“The way Mignon batted, she has been shy of runs in the competition and she needed that for her confidence. Everybody's extremely excited and happy to be in the semis. “With the rain today, it wasn't ideal sitting around and waiting, it was not the best of starts but we still have to take the positives out of today. We are pretty pumped to be getting into that final, it has been a dream for us for so long.”
Luus said they are not thinking about the final yet as they still need to get through the semifinal against an opponent yet to be decided. “We still need to get through the semifinals. Needing to play England or India will be a tough game regardless and we need to get through that. We will take it game by game.Support independent journalism by subscribing to the
