England women’s cricket team will take on hosts South Africa in the second semi-final of the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Friday (February 24). The winner of this tournament will face defending champions Australia, who defeated Harmanpreet Kaur’s Indian team by 5 runs in the first semi-final on Thursday (February 23).
An ice-cool net Sciver-Brunt could be a calming effect on England in their semi-final clash with South Africa, according to Denny Wyatt. Sciver-Brunt hit 81 off just 40 balls as England sealed their place at the top of Group 2 with an emphatic 114-run win over Pakistan on Tuesday, with Wyatt setting herself on pace for a record ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Got out after scoring 59 runs. The score of 2023 is 213 runs for five wickets.
Since securing their semi-final spot, the England team has had some sightseeing, an experience which for many proved to be more stressful than it should have been. “There were some technical problems before I got to ride the cable car, which made me very nervous,” Wyatt said.
“It decided to go down and swing a little bit, it was a terrible experience. But the net was as cold as a cucumber, nothing like it.
“She is very chilled out and that permeates the team. Everyone respects the nets and I am very happy that she is in our team. She is hitting the ball like a beach ball at the moment. So hopefully She can keep it up and will never change.
Sciver-Brunt finished the group stage as the top scorer of the tournament, with 176 runs including two fifties. Asked if the all-rounder could challenge for player of the tournament, Wyatt said: “She’s definitely up there, isn’t she? It’s the business end of the tournament now, so hopefully she can keep up the good form.” Will do well and get some good runs in the next few matches.”
