Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Proteas batter Lara Goodall says she has come full circle after scoring a match-winning half-century against Ireland in the second T20I on Monday.<\/p>\n

Goodall starred for the Proteas as she scored 52 off 40 balls to help steer South Africa to a comfortable eight-wicket victory in Dublin.<\/p>\n

The Proteas went on to level the three-match T20I series 1-1, with the decider set for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Goodall made her mark on the international scene in Dublin, where she made her ODI debut against Ireland.<\/p>\n

Six years later, Goodall returned and this time finally notched up her maiden T20I half-century in her 15th game for the Proteas.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a long time coming. I haven’t always been one of the first names on our T20 team sheet,” Goodall told reporters following South Africa’s win.<\/p>\n

“Speaking to the coach before this tour, we spoke about the opportunities with the T20 World Cup happening next year. I feel like I have come full circle because this is where my international career started, so to get off the mark here in these conditions, I’m very happy with that.”<\/p>\n

Proteas had ‘a point to prove’ to take Irish T20s to decider, says Goodall<\/p>\n

At this year’s Cricket World Cup in April, Goodall only played four ODIs, scoring 104 runs and was subsequently in and out of the starting line-up.<\/p>\n

Goodall said that she was eager to put her hand up during this Irish tour and hoped to maintain some consistency in the middle.<\/p>\n

“I’m taking it a game at a time. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten out of the park and played since the World Cup. I was a little bit disappointed in the World Cup. I felt like I didn’t convert a good 40s to 70s or maybe hundreds,” said Goodall.<\/p>\n

“Now I just want to consistently get to fifties and just push on to hundreds this tour. It’s just about me getting out there and batting for as long as I can.<\/p>\n

“I just want to take some time out in the middle and take it as an opportunity to put my hand up for the World Cup team.”<\/p>\n

Goodall admits that she does not want to be a “one-hit wonder” and will use every opportunity to learn more and gain wisdom from an experienced Proteas dressing room.<\/p>\n

“It’s just been a mental thing because I’ve always had the backing of the coach, who I have a good relationship with. I get a talking too when I needed it and he is also the first one to tell me well done,” said Goodall.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s just all thanks to my work ethic and me not being afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. And just to learn from everyone else, we have world-class batters in our change room, so picking their brains and speaking to the coaches that’s really helped my game now.<\/p>\n

“I just want to get a lot more consistent. I don’t want to be a one-hit-wonder and set up my team to win games.”<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s final T20 is set for 17:30 SA time.<\/p>\n
