The English Team against The South African Squad – Women's Cricket Global Tournament Starts
Quiet now! The pre-match talk has concluded, for the time being, and the World Cup journey for England is set to start. Unfortunately, they face a challenging match versus the South African side. Fortunately, they open with a stern test against South Africa. Success today might boost England's confidence right away and justify the careful optimism from their pre-competition talk.
Pre-Competition Confidence
An impressive triumph versus the Aussies during their final preparatory match has increased that confidence, although the individual performances by Alice Capsey (scoring 88 not out) alongside Sarah Glenn (claiming 5/32) presented Charlotte Edwards with a minor dilemma.
Edwards has a winning mentality, thus there is no risk of the team having modest ambitions. But from a distance they occupy a rare spot of having a very clear par for the tournament.
Tournament Expectations
Not making the last four might come as a small upset, even considering the progress made by usual lower-ranked teams. Advancing to the ultimate game ahead of either Australia or India, the primary frontrunners to lift the trophy, would mark a significant accomplishment. If the English side triumphs… no, let’s not go there. It’s way too early for that sort of talk.
This fixture commences at half past ten in the morning BST.
