THE Proteas Women's team will be hoping their opening pair of Tazmin Brits and Laura Wolvaardt can rediscover their form in tomorrow's much-anticipated World Cup semifinal against England.

They have met routinely in major ICC tournaments, particularly at the semifinal stage.

England hold the upper hand in 50-over World Cups, having shattered the Proteas' dreams in both Bristol (2017) and Christchurch (2022). Sune Luus' side famously managed to get their own back on a glorious Cape Town sunlit day in the T20 World Cup semifinal at Newlands two years ago.

The familiar foes will climb into the ring again on Wednesday in Guwahati, where they will slug it out for a place in the coveted World Cup final. Proteas opener Tazmin Brits believes history plays no part in the present though.
