Dubai, Feb 20 : South Africa captain Sune Luus on Sunday said that the team will play every match like a final in the ICC Women’s World Cup. The Proteas skipper also believed that her team is capable of reaching the final of the mega event, which they missed out on three occasions. In a column for the ICC, Luss said: “The most important part for us is not to focus much on our opposition. Every match will be played like a final, therefore it is imperative that we only focus on what we do best and what we can control.
In our previous series, this worked best for us. “We tried to do the basics as best as we could, and the result took care of itself. It is so easy to get caught up in the hype and excitement of a World Cup, but it is going to be important for us to stay in our little bubble and be focused on our goal.” “In the past, we were seen as the underdogs, but I think we have shown in last few years that we are a team to be reckoned with. We have shown consistent performances in difficult countries like India and the West Indies.” “We as a team also had a great T20 World Cup two years ago in Australia and turned some heads. we do the same this year, and hopefully reach that final that we’ve been missing out on, on three different occasions,” she added. The showpiece event will commence on March 4 where eight teams will play each other once in the early stages, with the top four moving on to the semi-finals.
