The South African women’s team has been exceptional in this 2022 World Cup. They have won 4 of their 4 matches and are almost certain of making it to the Semi-Final.
This performance of the Proteas women has inspired the men’s team as well as Temba Bavuma, the captain of South Africa had heaps of praises for the impressive performance by South African women in the world cup.
As the men’s South Africa team is all set to start a 3 match ODI series against Bangladesh on Friday at Centurion, Bavuma shared his thoughts to the citizens.co.za on South Africa’s nail-biting victory against New Zealand.
He said “The guys are massively proud. Actually, before we started training today we got to watch a bit of the finish of their game today.”
