“I thought tonight was the night but it wasn’t meant to be.”
The ICC T20 Women’s World Cup semifinals were held at the Sydney Cricket Ground but persistent rain washed out the first play-off between England and India.The same would have happened to SA if the weather didn’t change. The rain dissipated long enough for a game to take place.Rain during the break lopped seven overs from SA’s allotment‚ meaning they had to chase 98 from 13 overs according to the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method.
"They did everything in their power to keep us on the park. We were here to play cricket. I’d rather lose than get a free pass into the World Cup final.”“It’s upsetting and the team is quite distraught at the moment. Van Niekerk also said she didn’t overthink the game even though it was SA’s first T20 semifinal in six years.
“They’re experienced in knockout games. We’ve only been in three and they’ve been in countless ones. Their plans were spot on though.
