Team South Africa women's cricket captain and all-rounder Nondumiso Shangase is brimming with confidence ahead of the upcoming African Games in Accra, Ghana.
Head coach Hilton Moreeng says he is proud of the "grit and the fight" that the Proteas Women showed in the multi-format series in Australia.
Delmi Tucker and Chloe Tryon hit resolute half-centuries but it could not stop the Proteas Women falling to a crushing innings and 284-run loss to Australia in the one-off Test in Perth.
Following a closely contested white-ball leg Down Under, the Proteas Women shift their focus to their inaugural Test match against host Australia at the Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) Ground in Perth from 15 - 18 February.
Australia dominated the rain-affected match against South Africa, securing a convincing 110-run victory in the final One Day International of the series.
Cricket South Africa on Friday confirmed the Proteas Women squad to face Australia in a historic once-off Test clash in Perth next week.
