Hopefully south africa

Hopefully South Africa: Ahead of South Africa kickstarting their campaign in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 against their Group B opponents West Indies at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday afternoon, captain Laura Wolvaardt said she is hopeful of her team peaking at the right time in the tournament.

“We're a very talented group of players. We've had a few ups and downs in recent times, but I like to think that we've put in a lot of good hard work and have a lot of really clear plans heading into this World Cup. Hopefully, we're peaking at the right time and if we all play our best cricket, then we stand a really good chance,” she said in the pre-match press conference.

She also feels dismissing a dangerous Deandra Dottin, who’s making a comeback to international cricket after reversing her retirement taken in 2022, early will be the key for the Proteas to gain an upper hand in the match.
