Following that initial setback, the South African squad has displayed remarkable resilience and form. They now aim to deliver their best performance on the grandest stage. The World Cup semi-final is scheduled to begin at 11:30 SAST on Wednesday.

Proteas Women Look to Avenge Early Defeat

Proteas Women captain Laura Wolvaardt has emphasized the importance of maintaining composure during the high-stakes match. She believes a calm and collected approach will be the key to victory against a formidable English side.

“I think for me it will be just about keeping everyone as calm as possible,” Wolvaardt told reporters. “I think the calmest team out there will most likely win. I think 50 overs is a very long time and it is very easy to let the pressure of a semi-final get to you.”

The team’s journey to this point has been a testament to their character. Bouncing back strongly after the opening loss, the Proteas Women have built momentum with a series of confident performances. This semi-final represents their chance to complete a stunning turnaround and make history.
