THE Proteas were all smiles after their thrilling victory over India.

At times during the year, it seemed that if none of the three batters performed, the team was doomed.

However, in a matter of days, this team has put those concerns to bed.

Three matches into the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup, a number of players have stepped up with the bat, including Sune Luus with the unbeaten 83 in the victory against New Zealand, and most recently Nadine de Klerk with her unforgettable 84 not out in the three-wicket victory over India in Visakhapatnam.
