CRICKET WORLD CUP
WHO can ever forget the groundbreaking achievements that the Proteas women have pulled off in the last three years?
Two back-to-back T20 World Cup finals one at home in 2023 and another in the United Arab Emirates a year ago — paint a vivid picture of a unit on its way to achieving even bigger things in the near future.
Perhaps the biggest achievement was beating Australia in the semifinal of the 2024 T20 World Cup in the UAE. Everybody knows just how near impossible it is to beat Australia in World Cups, and moreso in the knockout stages. However, this Proteas women’s team defied the odds and pulled off a victory that will be remembered as the turning point in South African women's cricket.
On Wednesday, Proteas captain Laura Wolvaardt alongside experienced players such as Marizanne Kapp and rising talents including Nonkululeko Mlaba — will be looking to defy the odds once again as they face England in the semifinal in Guwahati.
