Proteas batter Laura Wolvaardt, all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and fast bowler Shabnim Ismail were selected in the star-studded International Cricket Council's (ICC) Women's World Cup Most Valuable Team of the tournament.
Proteas all-rounder Marizanne Kapp admits the demanding number three position in the batting order has been a concern as they reach the business end of the Women's World Cup.
The Proteas are through to the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, and superstar all-rounder Marizanne Kapp says it doesn't matter who they face in the last four.
South Africa on Thursday became the second team to qualify for the semifinals of the ICC Women's World Cup after their league match against West Indies was abandoned due to rain at the Basin Reserve. Both South Africa and West Indies were awarded one point each. South Africa followed Australia into the last-four stage with nine points from six matches, while West Indies have completed their league engagements and are currently placed third in the standings with seven points from as many games.
New Zealand captain Sophie Devine was disappointed as her team failed to perform well against South Africa in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup on Thursday. Sophie Devine's inning of 93 went in vain as South Africa bowlers Shabnim Ismail and Ayabonga Khaka scalped three wickets respectively to bowl out New Zealand for 228. "I thought Amelia Kerr was outstanding. She drew energy and we know she is a real impact player, she picked up those two wickets and shifted the momentum. We just kept crawling back in, cricket's a funny game and we have seen in this tournament games are going to the wire," said Sophie Devine in the post-match presentation.
When the Proteas were crumbling on Thursday, Marizanne Kapp stood firm, delivering a match-winning performance that was based in confidence, composure and belief.
Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim Ismail's fiery spell backed by Laura Wolvaardt's blistering knock helped South Africa defeat New Zealand in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup at Seddon Park on Thursday. Sophie Devine's innings of 93 went in vain as South Africa bowlers Ismail and Khaka scalped three wickets respectively that bowled out New Zealand on 228.
Marizanne Kapp was the hero for the Proteas again on Thursday, hitting 36* (35) in Hamilton to see her side home in yet another final over thriller against New Zealand at the Women's Cricket World Cup.
