Player of the Match
Laura Wolvide | South African
It still feels a bit unreal. I think that’s sort of the thing that you dream about as a kid is scoring 100 in a World Cup, knockout game as well. Very special day and I’m so glad we won in the end. We knew the start would be crucial.
I think Taz (Brits) and I have been really strong at the top of the order and we’ve done well at the top. We’ve sort of picked up the rest of the line-up, so really happy we were able to get that partnership up front.
We did end up in front quite early. It was a decent wicket, so we just wanted to keep going. Really nice that we got to a big score because it was a pretty flat wicket out there.
I think in the back of my mind, I know I had better shots (talking about the leg-side big hits towards the end), but I was really just wanting to get to the 40th over.
I think that was really my goal today, to sort of hold things together and get to the 40th to let Nadine, Annerie, Chloe really work for those last 10. I thought while I’m there, I might as well try and swing.
So yeah, happy to go a few of those leg side boundaries. Maybe needed a bit earlier. Probably has to be the top (ranking her knock), I think just the context of the game, World Cup semi-final.
Winning the game against a very strong side, a very strong bowling attack. Yeah, I think it’s right up there.
