Though her batting has flourished in this period, on paper, South Africa haven't been able to find much success, especially in T20Is.Coming off two series defeats against Australia and Sri Lanka, Wolvaardt said on the eve of the series opener against India that South Africa will be playing their best XI and "most likely side to be playing in the World Cup" having tinkered with the team in the last few series. The three-match T20I series will also be South Africa's final assignment before the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh in October."It's one of our last dress rehearsals before the big occasion," Wolvaardt said. "So we'll be looking to play as strong an 11 as we can and to have plans that are similar, so we can have them to the World Cup whether they be bowling options or batting line-up. And just try and nail down different combinations. We've had a few T20 series in the last couple of tours where we've sort of tried one or two things and given some youngsters an opportunity. But for this one, we'll be looking to play our best side and most likely side to be playing in the World Cup."With spin-bowling allrounder Chole Tryon also returning to the side from injury, Wolvaardt added that her team is "pretty close" to nailing down the XI that would be featuring in the upcoming World Cup. But she couldn't confirm if Marizanne Kapp, who played a specialist batter due to minor back injury and workload management in the ODIs and the Test, was fit to bowl in the shortest format."Obviously, in an ideal world, Marizanne would also be bowling, but other than that we should have everyone on board. I was happy having Chloe back as well. It should be as close, barring any injuries touchwood," she said.Under Wolvaardt's captaincy, South Africa had lost nine of their last 15 T20Is since the T20 World Cup final last year. In the multi-format series, they had lost both ODIs 3-0 and the Test by ten wickets. In South Africa's quest for a maiden win of the series, she called for the team to get extra "10-20 runs" and be a bit more consistent with the ball. India, on the other hand, are coming off a 5-0 series whitewash against Bangladesh, clinched the ODIs 3-0 in Bengaluru and won the one-off Test by ten wickets in Chennai."It's just about for the batting unit to find that extra 10 or 20 runs. Throughout that Australia series, we were, sort of pushing 150-160s, but with the game nowadays and coming on a flat wicket, you know teams are scoring 180-200, especially in these conditions. In the WPL, there are also a lot of very high scores. With the ball, it's about just being a bit more clinical and a bit more consistent. But yeah, the direction of the game is moving, and we need to keep being brave and playing positive cricket."As a part of the final leg of their preparations for the global event in Bangladesh, South Africa couldn't have asked for better conditions than Chennai, which has traditionally favoured spin. Wolvaardt conceded that it's an opportunity for them to try spinners in the first six overs or at the death, something that's uncommon with their bowling. That apart, only Luus, Kapp and Tryon have played in a T20I in Chennai before, in the 2016 T20 World Cup."It's a good time to maybe see if we could perhaps use a bit more spin in the powerplay or at the death," she said. "Traditionally we use a lot of spin in the middle, but it could be a good time to to experiment with one or two things. India will probably play a lot of a lot of spinners, maybe only one or two pacers, so they'll probably bowl spin throughout the innings, which is probably something we could try as well. But yeah, it depends on the day and how the conditions unfold and how spin-friendly is out there."The wicket looks a bit different for the T20s than on the Test. I think the Test we had that red clay, and this one looks a bit white clear and lighter. But having never played a white-ball game here before, we'll have to see how much it turns. Yeah, a bit of a frustrating hard toil on that first day of the Test. For us, none of our plans were working. But yeah, we've had one or two discussions, but T20 cricket is more about sort of trying to keep the very explosive Indian batters more quiet, so it's more just been talking around their batters and maybe keep them a bit quiet." 53317531828d3d8e4bd65d297aa74ea0 Pub Tables Table Centerpieces B03ac61bdd87959e6ff8e3dd9a619923 Ee5c9332e04128b6e53b0a1d30721f25 Customizable Pub Table 2dbdf201483776f28a532513db956e51 Ac8ae9c9427ddc2adc8f971fe9a320e6 A6a4eb9c3221d20828f443543036ee84 03b9a51ef429414c80e0bbf46b843700 D1694433ead33142045b76b1fa764c33 0529d3290ea1ddb71d4ef68117e0e348 26697951e2f9e07af411fdae3e99bf8a 322531aac1983b99b167d3b031bb02f6 9dbe5036be259bd47c101983736aa59b 57e00bd64eec72cfe96dda0d773a4ea8 715f56099ba4534b37f2165dac789eb2 Aa44d46c68fb1f866119579a2ead33ea 90ae1a3b3ce91ad94d557cd323220e56 83826362833188e2c1f97d2419adb8b4 94ca0c105acec01826ec8219cc1dece7 77676433767160be12caa5bbef21df16 4ad8cc503f4fa189c8918188f9bb0c12 15 Unbelievable Centerpieces For Dining Room Table For 2023 1696345748 779976a5ca5e3a1f1628d5a33d5fa07d 2680e3b01fb2efa7516fa6571fcf723d C6010523b1ce3e3ce61263d5fd9f521a Ec258091f02658de20f65c78e4ca26a0 211529c8afb9b5d7e40deb587ed59fae F489d33db66a61ce291afeab4f84097b 18df2f45d9d78c57d86de063e0d3c34a 3a3c0424e2b235790cbced1e02aff4fa 33067f820d9229c94bf9e8dc6a18a917 E02b490e9e3eaf901f1d1d55ac393506 D4817083aa9a1bd726e788ee2cf2d1b6 34ba8de357c4b4c98793a2b9ff076985 35d23cde1951722badaeddd8e4f70b4e
