Proteas working on getting 'all department's firing' at Women's World Cup, says Moreeng

Proteas coach Hilton Moreeng says that South Africa's best is yet to come ahead of their fourth Women's Cricket World Cup clash against hosts New Zealand on Thursday.

The Proteas women remain unbeaten in the eight-team tournament and come off a thrilling three-wicket victory over defending champions England on Monday.

Following narrow wins against Bangladesh and Pakistan, Moreeng says his side have not played their best and hopes they can improve to their desired standards with four pool matches remaining.

"Holistically, we haven't actually played the kind of cricket that we have been playing over the last year and a half," Moreeng told reporters on Wednesday morning.

"If you look from the first game to the third game, we had batters and bowlers in different situations that had to win us the game, so it shows that collectively, in all three departments, we haven't fired as we would like to, especially by our standards.

"We would love to, eventually, get to a situation where all three departments are firing."

On Monday, Marizanne Kapp starred with an all-round display, as she took 5/45 and scored a vital 32, and opener Laura Wolvaardt made 77 in South Africa's record chase at Bay Oval.

South Africa is second on the World Cup log, behind number-one ranked Australia, who have a higher net run rate.

Moreeng said his side is not concerned about the close finishes and believes they will only get better as the tournament progresses.

"We don't really have sleepless nights, we know the quality that we have in our team. Some of our batters like Wolvaardt, Marizanne and Sune, when the opportunity comes, they've showed what they can do," said Moreeng.
