"Generally in these tournaments, we've lost at crucial times, whereas in this tournament, whenever we've been down we've got up again.South Africa have never beaten four-time champions Australia, who suffered a big blow Tuesday with star allrounder Ellyse Perry ruled out of the tournament with a hamstring injury."We're not used to the bigger-stage games, but hopefully everything comes together for us," she added ahead of the match in Sydney on Thursday.
"The openers were positive and aggressive and they did very well," said Thai captain Sornnarin Tippoch. Natthakan Chantam and Nattaya Boochatham posted the second highest opening partnership of the tournament, 93, before Boochatham fell for 44.
