On Friday, October 3, South Africa will play England at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati to kick off their Women’s World Cup campaign. Laura Wolvaardt, the captain of South Africa, stated prior to the match that her squad hopes to take inspiration from the men’s team, which defeated Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final earlier this year.
During the historic match, Laura Wolvaardt spoke about how well the Temba Bavuma-led team received support from back home in South Africa. She believes her team can accomplish something unique for the nation and that supporters will support them along the way.
Yes, without a doubt, the men’s victory in that World Test Championship is fantastic. It’s been incredible to witness the nation’s love for them and how thrilled everyone was back home, coming together to cheer them on as they won the trophy. In order to truly rally the nation behind us in this tournament, we should aspire to have the opportunity to do something akin to this. India Today cited Laura Wolvaardt as adding, “And, yeah, hopefully we can do something special.”
Any team in the world may be defeated by us: Laura Wolvaardt
According to the lucky right-handed batter, her squad has performed admirably against England in the past. She thinks the Proteas can win all the points in the crucial match if they can follow through on their preparations on Friday.
It’s a little challenging because I believe we’ve defeated them in the World Cup group stages before, followed by numerous victories in the semifinals. Therefore, we are aware that, particularly in the group stages, we can defeat them as a team. I believe we are aware that we can defeat any team in the world if we play cricket at our highest level. Recently, we’ve played some excellent cricket. Our batting has been excellent. Our bowling has been getting better and better. “I believe we all understand that we can defeat them tomorrow if we truly adhere to our plans and are very clear about what we want to accomplish,” Laura Wolvaardt added.
