Proud Of The Resilience We Showed To Make It To Final, Says Laura Wolvaardt
India defeated South Africa by 52 runs to lift their maiden Women’s World Cup title. Chasing 299, Wolvaardt (101) led from the front with a magnificent century but lacked support as wickets fell regularly at the other end. Deepti Sharma was the standout performer with the ball, finishing with superb figures of 5/39 while Shafali Verma and Sree Charani chipped in with key wickets to seal a historic win for India.
“It's unfortunate to be on the losing side today, but I’m sure we’ll definitely grow from this as a group. I think we did so well to put those couple of bad games behind us. We were either really good or really bad, but thankfully there was a lot more really good throughout this tournament. There were so many different players stepping up. It’s been an amazing tournament for a lot of them, and I’m just really proud of the resilience we showed to make it all the way to the final,” Proteas captain said in the post-match presentation.
