Under immense pressure, against the best team in the history of Women’s cricket, Bosch held her nerves and blew them away, helping South Africa qualify for their second consecutive T20 World Cup final.

In an exclusive interview with Independent Media, Bosch reflected on the months she spent recovering and away from the game as hurtful.
