The Proteas women’s team are looking to bounce back from a challenging T20 international series when they square off against Sri Lanka in the One Day International series in East London on Tuesday.
The first of three day-night ODI’s gets underway from 14h00 at the Buffalo Park Stadium.
Captain Laura Wolvaardt on Monday expressed the team's readiness to shift focus towards the upcoming ODI series after the loss in the T20Is against Sri Lanka.
“Not the way we wanted to end the series, but we've had a good couple of days just to refocus, to talk about what we want to achieve in the ODI series and we're all good to go tomorrow,” she commented.
Reflecting on areas of improvement from the T20I series, Wolvaardt acknowledged the team's shortcomings, particularly in key moments of the game.
“In that last T20I especially, we could have been a lot better in pretty much all three departments. We dropped some key catches, we didn't execute well enough with the ball and with the bat, we fell flat a bit in that middle period.
“We improved a lot on our powerplay and our death overs, but just in the middle, we could have rotated the strike a bit better.
“So we just spoke about plans around that and retouched our ODI framework and blueprint, and how we like to go about that.
“ODIs have been our stronger format for the last couple of months, so we'll just look to do the same as what we've been doing there,” the skipper added.
