Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Proteas Women are one step away from glory, having booked their place in the World Cup final with an incredible win over England on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, India knocked the defending and seven-time World Champions, Australia, out with a stunning five-wicket victory following a record run chase at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai to secure their spot in the final against the Proteas.<\/p>\n

Top-ranked Australia batted first and scored 338 runs in the second semi-final before being bowled out off the penultimate delivery.<\/p>\n

“South Africa did well to win against England, who is a strong side,” says famed cricket commentator Jeremy Fredericks, who expects a “heck of a final”.<\/p>\n

“As hungry as India is, so hungry is South Africa as well. If we could beat England, I don’t see why we can’t beat India as well.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about building pressure and putting that pressure on their opponents; that’s exactly what South Africa inserted against England. If they can come on Sunday and put pressure on England again, I don’t see why they can’t lift that trophy.<\/p>\n

“As good as India is, South Africa is just as good. If we come on Sunday prepared for the fight, I think it’s going to be one heck of a final between these two teams.”<\/p>\n
