The Proteas Women's Cricket team have to play catch up at this years tournament. The South Africans lost their opening game to the West Indies at the World Cup in Australia. There were three run outs in the game but two of them came late in the game which lead to our side to being bowled out for 116 in 45.2 overs. The Windies reached the target in 48.4 overs with two wickets to spare.
Western Province Women's Cricket Captain Olivia Anderson says these run outs are unnecessary.
"A run! out is always a tragedy because it's a waste of a wicket and to have three was a total disaster. I think South Africa is a much stronger side than the West Indies are."
South Africa faces a tough task when they meet Australia in their next game on Tuesday.
Anderson says it's important for our side not to lose early wickets if they want to make a big score.
"South Africa need to build a steady platform, it doesn't matter how quickly they score in the beginning as long as they have wickets in hand in the end. They must also be able to attack in the last 15 overs, then they might be able to get a competitive score."
