Since the time Laura became South Africa\u2019s captain, she has been a key figure in their batting charge alongside fellow opener Tazmin Brits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSouth Africa is a very good team. We obviously played them recently in a series in South Africa and had some success, but they\u2019ve got some brilliant players. I think they\u2019ve done really well under Laura\u2019s (Wolvaardt) captaincy.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a calm leader, and I think her batting has gone to another level since she\u2019s been captain. She\u2019s going to be a key player for them. Hopefully, we can keep her quiet, but we know we will have to perform very well. It\u2019s going to be a tough test first up,\u201d sad Heather on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt echoed the same sentiment and stressed on the importance of taking out Laura early in the innings. \u201cLaura Wolvaardt is such a big player for South Africa; if you let her get going, it\u2019s very difficult to get her out. So, we\u2019ll be putting our plans in place for her.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cObviously, they\u2019ve had a very good opening partnership in the last series they played, so it will be important for us to get their wickets early, and hopefully we can do that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cGetting her out is massive, as they rely heavily on her to score runs. They\u2019ve obviously got great all-rounders now, but Wolvaardt is still central to their batting. Hopefully, we can get her out early. I\u2019m hoping one of the seamers gets her rather than me! But it\u2019s really exciting to come up against her,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
