With the West Indies losing to Pakistan and England brushing aside Thailand on Wednesday‚ SA’s job of progressing to the Women’s T20 World Cup semifinals has become slightly easier.
They’ll still have to beat Thailand at the Manuka Oval on Friday‚ but Proteas all-rounder Marizanne Kapp isn’t taking the Asian team lightly.
“They look like quite a good team on the field and they have a lot of spinners. You can’t take any team lightly in this World Cup‚ so we have to start over again‚” Kapp said. Her six fours didn’t allow England to settle and made sure that there was a constant transference of pressure.“It was a massive win for us. We wanted to start the tournament well and I’m pretty proud of the girls.
