Assessing the contest ahead of the winner earning a place in the final against Australia, Shikha highlighted South Africa\u2019s familiarity with English conditions but believes England\u2019s batting depth could prove to be the decisive factor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pandey began by explaining why South Africa remain one of the most dangerous teams in global tournaments, pointing to their temperament and experience of playing in English conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"South Africa are ruthless when it comes to World Cups. They have a strong bowling attack and batters who can handle pressure. Many of their players have also played a lot of cricket in England. Marizanne Kapp herself has had about three to four seasons in the Hundred here on these surfaces. So they are quite well-drilled. They are fighters who don't give up easily,\u201d Shikha told JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite acknowledging South Africa's strengths, Shikha believes England will enter the semifinal with a batting line-up that is stronger and more balanced than in previous years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut one thing I will say about England is that I have watched them for a long time, and I haven't seen their batting this organised and this deep. They have power, they have experience, and they have players who can finish games,\u201d she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
