ICC Women's Cricket World Cup: South Africa Captain Sune Luus Looking Forward For Upcoming Match With Australia

After defeating New Zealand in Match 16 of the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup on Thursday, South Africa skipper Sune Luus said that her side is not taking much pressure for the upcoming clash against Australia. Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim Ismail's fiery spell backed by Laura Wolvaardt's blistering knock helped South Africa to defeat New Zealand by three wickets in the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup here at Seddon Park. "It is a roller-coster of emotions. We probably made it harder than it was supposed to be. But at the end of the day we will take the points and go. I don't think we did too bad, we started off well and had a good powerplay. Devine played a good knock in the middle but we brought back nicely at the end. They were 200 around the 40th over and we did well to restrict them to 228," said Sune Luus after the game.

Women's World Cup: Sophie Devine Talks About New Zealand's Loss Against South Africa

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.
