Reflecting on her performance and the conditions that allowed her to thrive, Alana said, \u201cIt\u2019s a good feeling (to take 7 wickets), no doubt. But I love trying to put Australia into a good position, and to bowl a quality side like South Africa out under 100 is something we\u2019re pretty comfortable with. We\u2019ve played here a few games now. I did extract a bit of spin in the first game, and then even against England a couple of days ago. So we knew there was going to be a little bit of spin - it could hold a little, but when you play on a new pitch, you\u2019ve got to assess conditions as soon as you can. I thought with the little bit of drizzle it might have slid on, but I still managed to extract some spin, so I\u2019m pretty pleased with that.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Of her seven wickets, four were clean bowled - a testament to the precision and quality of her bowling as Australia head into the knockout stages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The leg-spinner credited her consistent approach and the support system around her for helping her stay focused and continue improving. \u201cTo be honest, I haven\u2019t changed too much. I\u2019ve got some great coaches, mentors, and teammates around me who help me keep getting better and evolving my game. I just want to keep doing my role for Australia. I love playing for this team, I love taking wickets for this team, and I just hope to keep putting us in good positions.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When asked what might come next, she responded with gratitude. \u201cI don\u2019t know - maybe move up the batting order, we\u2019ll see! I\u2019m very happy to be a bowler in this team and put my feet up while the batters go to work. It\u2019s a great team to be part of, we\u2019ve got an amazing culture, a lot of self-belief within ourselves and in each other. It\u2019s a pretty good change room to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
