As they aim to put on a great display in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa’s captain Laura Wolvaardt stated that her squad will be concentrating on one match at a time.
Laura Wolvaardt, the captain of South Africa, stated that her team can advance to the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals. She does, however, intend to concentrate on one game at a moment. The West Indies and South Africa will square off at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Friday, October 4, to kick off the tournament.
In front of their home supporters, the Proteas advanced to the finals of the previous Women’s T20 World Cup last year. South Africa had made it to their first-ever World Cup final in any format, thus this was a huge accomplishment. They were highly praised for their efforts during the competition, but they ultimately fell to Australia in the finals.
This year, the Rainbow Nation is placed in Group B among nations like Bangladesh, England, Scotland, and the West Indies. According to Wolvaardt, her team’s primary goal is to get to the main event’s knockout stage.
T20 cricket is such a volatile format, in my opinion. I think last year, last time was great, but we’re just looking to take it one match at a time. Undoubtedly a very tough pool, but if we can advance to the semi-finals, anything is possible, according to Wolvaardt, who was cited by the ICC.
Every match you play and every practice you put in is aimed towards winning the World Cup: Matthews Hayley
Hayley Matthews, the captain of the West Indies and a lucky person, stated that her squad has been getting ready for the World Cup for a very long period.

The West Indies captain, Hayley Matthews, stated that the squad has had its sights set on winning a World Cup for a very long time. According to Matthews, the objective of every training session and series is to win a World Cup.
In the shortest version of the match, the West Indies lead South Africa 14–7 on the head-to-head scorecard. However, records won’t be of much relevance when the two sides cross swords on Friday.
