Proteas all-rounder Chloe Tryon says the fire is burning following their ICC Women's T20 World Cup triumph against New Zealand in Paarl on Monday.
South Africa recorded their first win of the tournament, thrashing the White Ferns by 65 runs in front of a roaring Boland Park.
Tryon top-scored for the Proteas women with 40 off 32 balls (hitting six fours) as the hosts posted 132-6 in their allotted 20 overs.

Defending a modest total under the Paarl lights, Tryon also produced figures of two for 12 in her three overs as New Zealand collapsed to 67 all out.

Tryon says watching the first of Monday's doubleheader, which saw England beat Ireland by four wickets, helped SA assess conditions in Paarl.
"I felt that as a unit, we've been batting really well, and we hadn't started well. It was making sure against New Zealand, which we knew was a must-win, we rectified those basics," Tryon told reporters on Monday.
"Obviously, we watched the game earlier here. So, we kind of figured that it was a little bit up and down the wicket."
The win comes off the back of a narrow three-run defeat to Sri Lanka in Friday's World Cup opening clash at Newlands.
Tryon says harsh words were spoken in the changeroom as the hosts look to keep the fire burning with two Group A games remaining.
"We sat up in the changeroom and we spoke about everything and we said, 'we'll leave it here'. We had a quick turnaround," said Tryon.
"Everyone came with the mindset today of just working really hard. I know we put up a score of 130-plus, which I thought was a little bit short.
