'We Need Some Good Strategies In Place…': Wolvaardt Admits Warm-up Setback Is 'an Eye-opener' Before Aus Showdown
T20 World Cup: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt has welcomed a timely reality check ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, insisting her side will need sharper plans and greater execution if they are to overcome Australia in their tournament opener on Saturday.
The Proteas head into the marquee Group 1 clash after concluding their warm-up campaign with a five-wicket defeat to New Zealand in Loughborough. While the result denied South Africa a perfect build-up, Wolvaardt believes it exposed areas that require immediate attention before facing the six-time champions in Manchester.
“We would have liked to win both (warm-up fixtures), but maybe this is just what we needed just before the tournament starts. Just a little eye-opener that is not just going to happen and we can't just go through the motions with the ball,” Wolvaardt said.
