Speaking ahead of the all-important clash, South Africa’s first home semi-final in the history of men or women’s cricket, South African captain Suné Luus expressed the team’s mindset heading into the encounter.  

“It’s going to be a big occasion but we have been on the other side (losing side) too many times to know exactly what it feels like,” the skipper noted.  

“The girls today in our meeting, we just said we know how it feels on the other side and we don’t necessarily want to be there again so there’s enough motivation for us to just go out and enjoy the game, we have nothing to lose, so we are going to try and play our best cricket and enjoy the moment,” Luus said.  

Having only won three matches out of the previous 23 T20I encounters (1 no result) against England, the Proteas Women will be seeking a much improved display against the English side, with the host nation going into the semi-final with two wins out of four matches in the current T20 World Cup.
