Proteas seek complete game

»» To win a cricket World Cup title, teams need to perform well across all areas of the game. The Proteas have done better in some facets than others during the T20 Women’s World Cup in the UAE. Ahead of tomorrow’s final against New Zealand, Wesley Botton looks at how well they ve done thus far, and what they need to get right in the trophy battle.

► It's difficult to criticise the Proteas top order for their efforts throughout the five matches they have played at the tournament.

► Captain Laura Wolvaardt (above, 190 runs) and fellow opener Tazmin Brits (170) are at the top of the run-scorers list, while Anneke Bosch had made 128 in four trips to the crease with the tournament's highest score so far of 74 not out.

► All three players, however, have scored their runs at a strike rate of less than 115, and they haven't always shown the urgency that's usually required to win big T20 matches.
