Date: May 14, 2025

The South African emerging women cricket side  head coach Dinesha Devnarain  is happy with team's resilience in their One Day campaign against  Bangladesh Emerging Women.

The Emerging Women's successful One-Day campaign against Bangladesh Emerging Women, concluded with a 2-1 series victory for the visitors in Chattogram last week. 

Reflecting on the significance of securing a series victory in subcontinental conditions, SA Emerging Women's Devnarain sing the praises of the team, β€œIt's really tough conditions. It's something that we're not used to, with this extreme heat. The humidity is high. It never really cools down, so I'm definitely pleased with the team, just the way they went about their business.

"It took some experienced players to see the team through, and there's a nice blend of youngsters as well as good domestic players, so really chuffed.

It's quite a huge honour that the ladies pulled off a series win. We would have loved to make it 3-0, but it's usually the games that we lose that we learn the most,

On lessons learned from the tour so far, Devnarain pointed to tactical improvements with both bat and ball

as priorities going forward.” We're taking lots of learnings. "The biggest one for us is our extras. We just need to be better with our extras. We need to try to do our best in terms of bringing in our cutters or variations earlier. We want to be on one side of the wicket. As a batting unit, we still want to play fearless cricket, but we want that with responsibility as well, to make sure that whoever is in there, is to finish the game off and see that through.”
