Player of the Match
Laura Wolvaardt | South Africa
Very pleased to get a game in the end. Bit of a frustrating day, obviously sitting on the side for four hours, and then it stopped raining about ten minutes before the cut-off time. So very glad that it worked out this well and we were able to get onto the field.
Yeah, it’s something we’ve definitely been speaking about (on the top-order). I know we haven’t had our best tournament so far as an opening pair together. So really nice that we were able to put on a 100-run stand today and spend some time in the middle.
We’re still searching for the perfect game as a team. Sometimes, the top-order has been firing, sometimes only the middle order has been firing. So we just need a game where it all comes together.
Probably with the ball, we can look to be better in the death phase. We were a bit better today with that. It’s tough to stay switched on (during rain breaks). You can see when we came on after the four-hour break, we had a bit of a nervy start.
We probably weren’t as switched on as we should have been those first two overs back on the field. But we were able to regroup, take a lot of wickets, which I think helped the run rate as well.
