Women's T20 WC: 'Points In The Bag Are All That Matters,' Says Wolvaardt After SA Win Over Pakistan
T20 World Cup: South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt admitted her side did not produce their cleanest performance but was satisfied to begin their campaign with a victory after edging Pakistan by two wickets in a low-scoring contest of the Women’s T20 World Cup at Edgbaston.
Chasing 127, South Africa survived a dramatic late wobble despite being in a commanding position, eventually sealing the win after Pakistan captain Fatima Sana's all-round brilliance threatened to script an unlikely comeback. While Wolvaardt praised her bowlers for setting up the game and lauded Annerie Dercksen's attacking half-century, she also acknowledged areas for improvement ahead of South Africa's next fixture against India.
“Points in the bag are all that matters today. It was a little scratchy and not the way we would have liked, but there are still lots of positives to take out of it. We'll take those and move on,” Wolvaardt said after the game.
