\u201cVery excited. I think obviously just playing the World Cup in India, the crowds are very exciting, just the way they love cricket. I think that obviously makes it even more exciting and special.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI want to say the home of cricket, but we know that's England, but it's kind of India as well. So, just very excited for the trip and the journey. I think the team is in a very good space and we have a very good team this year,\u201d Sune was quoted as saying by ICC on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She also noted that the challenges South Africa faced during the tri-series in Sri Lanka and the series against the West Indies earlier this year helped shape the team\u2019s readiness for the marquee event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt's been a very good year. I think it started with provincial cricket, beginning of February with games, trying to nail your game plans and your training to be World Cup specific. \"We obviously headed to Sri Lanka and West Indies for the two series, which was very good for us as well, just to find our roles and game plans and stuff like that.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It's been a very good year of lead-up and build-up. I think all the girls are in a good space with cricket, a good mental space as well. And I think just the way we're chatting at the moment is also very special to see. Everyone is just enjoying cricket, which I think is very important. So, hopefully it's a very good World Cup for us,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa have made it to the World Cup semi-finals on three occasions \u2013 in 2000, 2017 and 2022 respectively and Sune stressed that the current squad is determined to go a step further and create history this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
