“You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It’s a goldfish. You know why? Got a 10-second memory. Be a goldfish, Sam.” Fictional football coach Ted Lasso’s advice to one of his players – albeit scientifically disproven now – would perfectly suit South Africa’s campaign at the ICC Women’s World Cup. On October 3rd, after Nat Sciver-Brunt won the toss and opted to bowl first at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati, South Africa played as if they had forgotten how to play cricket. Blown away for 69 all out in the 21st over. England needed just 14.1 overs to win by 10 wickets. Cut to 26 days later, on October 29th, after Sciver-Brunt won the toss and opted to bowl first at the same venue, South Africa became a team of goldfish – captain Laura Wolvaardt alone scored 100 more than they managed that day (169 off 143 balls) with a century for the ages.

While speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Kapp accepted that she conceded a few runs in the second season of WPL. The 34-year-old added that she just tried to deliver “dot balls” as much as possible. Kapp felt “nice” after helping her side move to the tournament’s final match by taking wickets with a new ball. “I’ve found if I just stick to what I do best I usually end up with the wickets or being quite economical. There were some games where I went for a bit of runs when I changed what I do well. When I thought they would maybe try and lap or they were going to run at me or step across the line and I try something different, that’s usually when I go for runs. But if they do those things and I stick to what …

Opting to bowl first, Lanning handed the ball to Powerplay specialist Marizanne Kapp, who responded with a four-over burst of high quality, registering stunning figures of 4-1-5-3. Spinner Radha Yadav, who Lanning later said had come into this match as if with a point to prove, picked up four wickets. All UPW could manage was 119/9 in their 20 overs.
