Luus reflects as Proteas recover
Cape Argus
|October 08, 2025
ONE can only imagine how difficult it must have been for the Proteas Women to get themselves in the right state of mind after the 10-wicket thrashing against England Women in their first match of the ongoing 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
Being bowled out for under 70 in your World Cup opening match could dampen team spirit, and everything could go downhill from there.
However, South Africa were able to find the strength to lift themselves up and bounced back with an emphatic six-wicket victory over New Zealand Women in their second game earlier this week.
Proteas opening batter Tazmin Brits brought up a record-breaking fifth century in 2025 and was supported brilliantly by Sune Luus with an unbeaten 83 as South Africa secured their first win of the tournament.
Reflecting on the days following the tough loss to England Women, Luus told Independent Media that they could not afford to dwell on their disappointments.
