Player of the Match
Tazmin Brits | South Africa
It feels great. I’m glad that we could pull this one through. We definitely needed it after the first game. (On becoming the fastest woman to hit 7 ODI centuries surpassing Meg Lanning) Funny enough, I’m not one for records, but when you mention Meg Lanning, I’m glad I’m above that one.
As long as we are winning the games, then I’m all good. (Key to success) I don’t actually know, I’m just backing myself a bit more. I’m trying to be as positive as I can. We actually had a lot of batting camps, I think that definitely helped. I’m trying to expand my batting a bit more and not to be one-dimension.
(Today’s game-plan) I just said I’m going to be as positive as possible, we needed this win, just get out, middle of all the balls. It’s actually funny, it was a new bat. I haven’t used it once. I think that’s going to be the lucky bat from now on.
(On her bow and arrow celebration) Sinalo actually interviewed us and asked what celebrations next and I actually put it out to the fans. I said, “give me your celebrations, because the 50 will only remain for my dad.”
And then I had these two young girls, they’re 13 years old. One stays in Australia, one stays in South Africa. But they come from South Africa and they asked me to do their celebration. So, yeah, that celebration was for them.
