Proteas to keep attacking mindset

THE Proteas Women's team will resist any temptation to curtail their attacking instincts as they prepare for their all-important ICC Women's Cricket World Cup semifinal against England in Guwahati on Wednesday.

Laura Wolvaardt’s side have suffered major two batting collapses, one at the start of the group phase against England, and another against defending champions Australia in Indore last Saturday. But between these matches, they won five games on the bounce with the batters playing a major role in the hot streak, which included the Proteas’ first-ever total in excess of 300 at the World Cup.

They are therefore adamant they will adhere to the refreshing attacking policy, despite many suggesting a rethink may be necessary in a semifinal where the stakes are high.
