3rd WT20I: Tough Series Against NZ Helped South Africa Gain A 2-0 Lead Over India Women, Says Pacer Sekhukhune
As South African: As South African women get ready to play against India Women in the third T20I of the series, pacer Tumi Sekhukhune, who had a tough series against New Zealand before it, has helped them excel in home conditions and take the lead against India. South Africa went down 1-4 to hosts New Zealand in the five-match women's T20I series.
South Africa lead the series after winning the first two games by six and eight wickets. Winning Wednesday's third game will seal the five-match series in their favour. The hosts have been in full control, executing their game plans well with both bat and ball, while exposing India's inconsistency, especially in the middle order.
Pacer Sekhukhune said the bowling unit was roughed up on the New Zealand tour and therefore wanted to get out of that process, as they believe they are a better team than the one that conceded 350-plus runs. “I think, coming from New Zealand, it was tough, but we've always known that we are a much better team than that. There are things that we actually didn't do well, which was the bowling unit - getting hit and giving away 350 plus was just not what we actually wanted to get out of that,” she said in the pre-match press conference ahead of the third T20I.
