South Africa will have revenge on their minds when they come up against the Australian juggernaut seeking their eighth consecutive ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final berth at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
It was Australia, after all, who broke South African hearts when they beat the 2023 World Cup hosts in the final at Cape Town and held aloft the trophy for the sixth time.
South African captain Laura Wolvaardt admitted it won’t be easy on Thursday to shake off the painful memories of that final.
“A lot has happened since then. We have had two wins against them earlier this year,” Wolvaardt said in her prematch news conference on Wednesday.
