Proteas Women aim for perfection in World Cup

THE Proteas women have won three consecutive matches in the ongoing ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, having beaten New Zealand, hosts India and recently Bangladesh as they recovered impressively from the embarrassing loss to England in the first match of the tournament.

Though coach Mandla Mashimbyi’s side has been successful, there are still quite a number of concerns about their performances.

Too often, the team unnecessarily complicate matters making what should be easy games to win into close encounters.

In the match against Bangladesh earlier this week, South Africa had them 78/5 in the 23rd over, but allowed them back into the game as the subcontinent team ended up setting 233 runs as a target.

Chloe Tryon’s 60-odd was key to the Proteas’ three-wicket victory, but the 31-year-old knows that they need to be a lot more ruthless for the remainder of the tournament.
