Proteas Women’s captain Laura Wolvaardt is proud of her team’s overall performance at the ICC Women’s World Cup.

The South African skipper hit up a score of 101 runs but it was not enough to get her side over the final, as India secured a 52-run win to lift the World Cup trophy.

The 26-year-old made history at the World Cup after she made the most runs ever at the World Cup with 571 runs.

Wolvaardt says they will not dwell on the past and take positives away, despite falling short at the final hurdle.

“I think it’s been a great campaign for us – to make it all the way to the final is really awesome,” said Wolvaardt.

“I think we’ll still look back at this tournament as a lot of positives as we’ve played some really good cricket throughout this tournament.

“At one stage we won five games in a row or something like that, which is pretty big for our group.

“Just searching for that consistency which is something that we don’t necessarily have in bilaterals. So really proud that we’re able to perform in, in big tournaments.”
