Overview
- South Africa go into a must-win Group-stage game against Pakistan at Edgbaston on Wednesday after a heavy loss to Australia left their net run rate in trouble.
- Senior all-rounder Marizanne Kapp said she feels good in training and believes a major performance is “just around the corner” for the team.
- Kapp recorded 1/29 with the ball and scored 12 off six in the Australia match and was run out in a costly mistake, which she says highlighted areas to improve.
- The Proteas are keeping a match-by-match focus and say they must be clinical with the basics if they are to recover and reach the semifinals.
- Pakistan have a slight conditions advantage from already playing at Edgbaston, and South Africa point to last year’s World Cup comeback as evidence they can still turn the campaign around.
