They’ve shown their class and proven a lot of people wrong: Sune Luus on South Africa’s openers

South Africa women’s captain Sune Luus on Saturday said that her openers have proven many people wrong after a terrific performance with the bat from the last two games.

Sune hopes that both South African openers – Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits – will continue their good run in the tournament and do well in the all-important final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup against Australia at Newlands, Capetown on Sunday.

Question: In the last two games, your openers have given you a superb start, which has played a huge role in your last two wins. So, do you think this opening partnership between Laura and Tazmin will be crucial for tomorrow’s final as well?

“Yeah, I definitely hope so. I think they’re finding their stride and their confidence at the right time. I think there’s been a lot of talk of whether we want to put them in the middle order or whether the middle order has to go up the order and so forth,” said South Africa captain Sune Luus.

“But I think they’ve shown their class and they’ve proven a lot of people wrong. I think they have the confidence at the moment to just go out tomorrow, play their game and hopefully get us off to a good start again,” she concluded.
