ICC World Cup

Former Proteas Women captain Mignon du Preez is under no illusions about the task that awaits Sune' Luus' side against England in their ICC T20 World Cup ...

It’s time to break free and show off the talent they all have in front of the whole country and the world.” The majority of this team have played in World Cup semi-finals before. Shabnim (Ismail), Ayabonga (Khaka), Laura (Wolvaardt) and even young Nonululeka (Mlaba) have all been in this situation before. England are a dangerous side with match-winners in every department and they showed how dangerous they could be by smashing the record score at a T20 World Cup in their last game. The Proteas’ record, of course, is sketchy at best in this regard, which Du Preez admits she was once a part of. It has provided Du Preez with a different lens to analyse the team’s performance, which is why she is under no illusions about the task that awaits Sune’ Luus’ side.
