6 Jun
Summary
- Wolvaardt is South Africa's captain for the T20 World Cup.
- She aims to regain form in warm-up matches against Ireland.
- Wolvaardt has the highest batting average in Women's T20 World Cup history.
South African captain Laura Wolvaardt aims to find her rhythm during warm-up matches before the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. She seeks to emulate her exceptional form from earlier this year, when she dominated a series against India. Wolvaardt boasts the highest batting average in Women's T20 World Cup history, having scored 563 runs across four editions.
Her recent performance in a warm-up against Australia saw a modest 13 runs, prompting a focus on upcoming fixtures. Upcoming matches against Ireland and New Zealand offer further opportunities to hone her skills. South Africa previously secured a 2-0 T20I series win against Ireland in December, with Wolvaardt scoring a century in one of those matches.
The Proteas, who were runners-up on home soil in 2023, are eager to build momentum. Their success is closely linked to Wolvaardt's performance as they prepare for a challenging group stage, including matches against Australia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Ireland.
