We just need to stay focused on what we need to do: Sune Luus ahead of semi-final clash

South Africa captain Sune Luus on Thursday ahead of the semi-final clash against England, said that her team just need to focus on doing the “basics” and the simple things right to try and give themselves the best chance to win the game.

Question: In your last match at Cape Town against Bangladesh, your team easily chased down the target and won the match by ten wickets. So, how important was that win for your team’s confidence going into the semi-final?

“Yeah, I think it’s always good to, you know to have that momentum in our changing room. I think the two batters upfront, you know chased it down in the 17th [18th] over and I think they will really draw confidence from their performances. So, it’s very exciting to go into tomorrow and see what they can do as well,” said South Africa captain Sune Luus.

Question: England has been terrific in this tournament so far, winning all four games. So, how important it is for your team to believe in yourself that you can defeat England in the semi-final and not get affected by their performances?

“Yeah, I think you know tomorrow is a big game, but we gonna treat it as any other game. I think we just need to stay focused on what we need to do. Focus on the basics, do the simple things right and then you know you can only control what you can. And then we can try to give ourselves the best chance,” she added.
