Women's T20 WC: South Africa Aiming To Inspire On Home Soil, Says Skipper Sune Luus

By IANS News February 10, 2023 • 21:35 PM View: 814

Ahead of their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 opener against Sri Lanka at Newlands Cricket Ground, South Africa captain Sune Luus said her side must inspire a nation through their performances at home.

It is the first time South Africa are hosting the tournament and the Proteas, ranked fifth in the world and recently won a tri-series featuring India as well as West Indies, are favourites to make a winning start against a Sri Lanka side led by their talismanic batter Chamari Athapaththu.
