A year after playing their first Women’s T20 World Cup final, the Proteas are on course to make it two in two after they made it through a tough Group to book a semi-final spot.
With the match between England and West Indies just over the halfway stage, confirmation arrived on South Africa’s place in the semi-final.
South Africa had one foot in the semi-finals even prior to this game, but star bowler Nonkululeko Mlaba admitted to feeling tensed during the final Group fixture between England and West Indies with all three teams still in with a chance to make the final four.
“I was really stressing out [during training], my fingers were crossed the whole time. I was praying that at least we make it to the semis because I know we’ve been working hard and I feel like we deserve to play in the semis as well.
“I’m very excited to hear the news. I mean, we deserve it, honestly, and I can’t wait for the semis.”
