\u201cWe've been able to beat England twice in knockout phases in World Cups, so it's not foreign territory for us. We can beat anyone on the day. So, trying to think back to those tournaments, what we did well in those semi\u2011finals, what sort of mindset we were in. But I think this is a team that really is able to rise to the big occasions, so, hopefully everyone's at their best tomorrow,\u201d said Laura in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
South Africa, runners\u2011up in 2024 and 2023 editions, qualified as the second\u2011placed team from Group A, while England have dominated the competition with five straight wins. The Proteas\u2019 batting faltered against Australia and looked shaky against Pakistan, but Tazmin Brits and Marizanne Kapp held firm in a crunch six\u2011wicket win over India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I think our bowling has been pretty good. I think different phases and different games, but I think having Kapp and Shabnim up early in the powerplay have been a big boost for us. I think we had a number of games where even if they did get off to a decent start, we were able to bring it back nicely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

She also stressed on the need to harness South Africa\u2019s power hitters in the big clash. \u201cA big focus of ours is that power game. We have a lot of young talent that is just really good at it. Maybe we need to stack them throughout the innings so that we're able to keep going in all the different phases.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
