Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: The 9th season of ICC Women’s T20 has started in UAE from 3rd October. So today, on October 4, last season’s finalist South Africa is going to face the West Indies cricket team.

Let us tell you that this match between the two teams will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. So, before the start of this match, a big statement has come out from South Africa’s captain and veteran wicketkeeper batsman Laura Wolvaardt. Laura says that she is hopeful that despite being in a difficult group, her team can reach the semi-finals.

Laura Wolvaardt gave a big statement

Let us tell you that before South Africa’s match against West Indies, Laura Bulfart said in the ICC quote – I think T20 cricket is a game of unstable format. I think obviously last year, the last time, was pretty good, but we’re just taking it one game at a time. Obviously our group is a very difficult group, but hopefully we can get to the semi-finals and then anything beyond that can happen.

It is noteworthy that the last time the T20 World Cup was hosted by South Africa, South Africa had made it to the finals. This was the first time that South Africa had reached the final of a Women’s World Cup, but had to face defeat at the hands of Australia.

However, now when South Africa will play its first match of T20 World Cup against West Indies on October 4, it will be worth seeing how it is going to perform? But if we look at the stats, West Indies is ahead of South Africa by 14-7 in T20 format. But more than T20 cricket stats, the match is decided by how the teams play on that day.
