# Cricket: Proteas Women captain Laura Wolvaardt asked her team for a brave batting performance in Thursday’s T20 World Cup semifinal against England at the Oval in London. South Africa struggled to chase a mediocre target during Sunday’s final group match against Bangladesh at Lord’s, and Wolvaardt is especially frustrated with herself for being dismissed for a duck. She says she is determined to lead from the front on Thursday. Australia and the West Indies face off in today’s first semifinal, with the final on Sunday.
