However, against a 5-time world champion team that is in their 7th consecutive T20 World Cup final, things won’t be easy. Proteas captain Sune Luus has called for her team to remain come and end tournament final drought.
“Yes, we know the occasion. Yes, we know everything that comes with the final, and with the World Cup trophy in South Africa. But I think for us it’s just to say as calm as possible, stay focused on what we do best and trust our skills and abilities and the result will take care of itself,” Luus said.
And so it should be, let’s scream from the rooftops tomorrow. https://t.co/jEc9AKCLUW
