As South Africa's women's cricket team gears up for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand, allrounder Chloe Tryon emphasizes that they have nothing to lose. Neither South Africa nor New Zealand has previously won a Women's ODI World Cup, making this final a significant milestone for both.
Tryon, speaking at a pre-match press conference, highlighted the team's focused approach throughout the tournament. "We didn't come into this thinking nervously about reaching another final. Our strategy was to concentrate on each game individually," she told the ICC.
Despite initial setbacks, including a loss to England, South Africa demonstrated resilience with a robust comeback, defeating Scotland, Bangladesh, and notably Australia in the semi-finals. This remarkable journey has bolstered their confidence ahead of their second consecutive T20 World Cup final.
