Preamble

Are you set for a fresh start? A new name etched on the historic cup?

A full-capacity audience is assembled at Navi Mumbai for these two sides, who defeated the traditional favorites in their semi-finals. Harmanpreet Kaur’s talented Indian side face Wolvaardt’s low-profile Proteas – the English and Australian sides watching from their sofas. Two totemic captains, the two lineups chock-a-block with talent.

This appears to be a game changer. Join us as we monitor every ball.

India's Captain: Harmanpreet Kaur

Harmanpreet, whose face tells countless stories, shed tears as India turned over the Australian side. She was more composed on Saturday night.

“I believe the key factor is that we need to relish this since nothing compares with this in our careers as a cricketer and as skipper. So our focus is to enjoy this event and maintain small targets which we have to achieve as a team instead of focusing on grander aims as you can reach major objectives by accomplishing the small targets.”

“For a cricketer, these moments are vital. To overcome a team like Australia, a powerhouse and historically excelled in global tournaments. It’s not an easy thing to perform and remain composed against them. But I think surmounting that obstacle was something very special to all of us. I consistently advise the squad that there’s no need to suppress feelings. If tears come, cry. Simultaneously, keep relishing. In my opinion nothing surpasses this or thing for us. Tomorrow is a special day and we’ll proceed with the same mindset.”

Proteas Skipper: Wolvaardt

Along with tranquil composure by the South African captain.

“Head coach Mandla, South Africa head coach], usually provides the motivating talks, the ‘bearing the flag’ type of thing. Then I believe I would add with a simple ‘remain composed, players’ to finish. There’s going to be a lot of noise, many events unfolding, perhaps many different routines than you’re used to in standard fixtures. But at the end of the day, we’re going to have to perform basics for longer throughout the game, and hold the nerve for longer. I think simply persevering and staying calm will contribute significantly tomorrow.”

“I’m striving to prevent considering too much about the future; just really sort of pace ourselves. In my opinion the initial occasion you play in championships, it feels like an enormous, fast-paced event. We must to relax and breathe deeply, and wish we can to accomplish that together.”
