Crucial game to keep semi-final chances alive
FOLLOWING the hairy escapes they experienced in their wins against India and Bangladesh, where they managed to squeeze out a three-wicket win against both teams with seven balls and three balls to spare, South Africa will be very wary of the subcontinent sides they come across in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Today, they will confront Sri Lanka at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium. Sri Lanka are still without a win after four games, two of which have ended in no-results because of bad weather.
Since being bowled out for 69 in their opening fixture against England, which they lost by 10 wickets, South Africa has won their next three games on the trot, although the last two have been close shaves against Asian sides.
Sri Lanka will present a new challenge for them as they look to consolidate their position at no. 3 in the table and move further up. South Africa will be very much circumspect of what Sri Lanka are capable of.
