Tumi Sekhukhune sizes up Proteas Women test vs Bangladesh

South Africa have shown their resilience after their opening thumping at the hands of England Women, bouncing back to defeat New Zealand and hosts India in dramatic fashion.

But Sekhukhune has assured the players are all refreshed and will not be complacent in their remaining league-stage matches.

"I think the team is super excited. I think we're looking forward to all these other games. I think we actually took the win, but we don't really want to want to dwell on the win," said Sekhukhune. 

"We want to focus on other matches as they are as important as the one that we played. So, yeah, we're looking forward to the other matches."

The 26-year-old believes they will again need to be at their best in Monday's match-up against a Bangladesh side coming off back-to-back defeats to the English and Kiwis.

"I think it's going to be a very tough game for us with Bangladesh. We know that they're going to come with much more slow bowlers, typically the spinners," she noted.

"And I think we said as a team that you want to take it one step at a time, one ball at a time, but we just want to, keep ticking all the boxes that we know we didn't do well in the previous games. So, if we do that, then hopefully we come out the better side."

Having come in for her tournament debut against India, and taking a solitary wicket, Sekhukhune says she is not fretting too much over her wicket-taking ability but rather focussed on complimenting her teammates by building pressure on the batters.

"I think firstly it's very nice to play with such exceptional bowlers. They have so much experience. I think Nonkululeko Mlaba has grown her game in the past two years – it's really great to see.

"I think with me coming in, I just want to restrict the runs. I don't want to focus too much on getting wickets, I just want to come in, do what I can do, be consistent in bowling my lines and lengths, and yeah, if I do pick up wickets then, then it's a win for me. 

"But mostly it's to restrict [the opponents] getting runs."
