Proteas Women refinam táticas antes da T20 World Cup

As Proteas Women da África do Sul venceram as séries T20I e ODI contra o Paquistão, mas mostraram inconsistências no campo e no bowling. O treinador Mandla Mashimbyi enfatizou a necessidade de focar nos básicos para a próxima T20 World Cup em Inglaterra. A equipa pretende aproveitar a sua profundidade para conquistar o primeiro título.

As Proteas Women garantiram uma vitória por 2-1 na série T20I contra o Paquistão e lideram por 2-0 nos ODI, com um jogo restante. No entanto, lapsos de desempenho destacaram áreas para melhoria. No segundo ODI, a equipa lançou 24 wides e deixou cair várias apanhadas, enquanto o terceiro T20I terminou numa derrota por 53 runs, marcada por oito wides, quatro run-outs e cinco apanhadas perdidas.  nnO treinador principal Mandla Mashimbyi reconheceu estes problemas, afirmando: «We haven’t been great on the field.» Ele acrescentou: «We’ve been putting down a couple of catches unnecessarily […] And that’s probably one of the biggest ones... that we’re not doing the simple things well enough all the time, so we just have to have the patience in our processes and just focus on executing the simple things very well.» Apesar disso, Mashimbyi viu a série de forma positiva: «It’s been a good series so far […] and we’ve been playing some really good cricket. The scary thing about this team is that the potential that we have as a team is still there and we’re winning.»  nnA profundidade crescente do elenco tem sido evidente. A capitã Laura Wolvaardt marcou 61 em 38 bolas no primeiro T20I. Sinalo Jafta fez 57* em 38 no seu 50.º ODI. Ayanda Hlubi tomou três wickets em três overs no jogo de abertura, enquanto Kayla Reyneke fez 2/13 e marcou 29*, ganhando jogadora do jogo. Suné Luus fez 93* e tomou 2/31 no primeiro ODI, e Annerie Dercksen marcou 90 e tomou três wickets no segundo.  nnMashimbyi elogiou a flexibilidade das all-rounders: «A lot of teams don’t have that, where you get people that can bowl and bat […] It’s actually a good thing for us.» As Proteas, que alcançaram três finais consecutivas de Mundial, enfrentam um grupo desafiador com Austrália e Índia no evento que começa a 12 de junho em Inglaterra. A seguir, jogam com a Nova Zelândia de 15 de março a 4 de abril, seguidas de uma série T20I em casa contra a Índia. O ODI final contra o Paquistão é a 1 de março às 10h.
