After finally getting the monkey off their back by beating England for the first time during an ICC tournament, South Africa are setting their sights on the newcomers to the scene – Thailand
The Proteas Women take on the southeast Asian country in Canberra, Australia, early on Friday morning with wind in their sails.
Having played five teams from the top nine in the women’s game, and losing to all of them, Thailand will be playing hard to beat South Africa. This will be the first time the teams will meet on the pitch. Sutthiruang has career bowling figures of 42 wickets at an average of 9.8, and a strike rate of 15.7. To be fair, these have mostly come against teams outside the top nine, but are nevertheless impressive.
Captain Dané van Niekerk said: “Our first main goal is to get to the semifinals, and the next two games could secure that for us.”“We will never underestimate Thailand. There are good things coming from them, especially in them making it to their first World Cup.” Canberra seems to offer something for the bowlers early on, however, it will be up to the batters to make the mistakes or to be put under enough pressure for the fielding side to take advantage.
