Moreeng supports South Africa's fitness and ability to return to the second WODI
The women's Proteas are ready to play better after defeating eight of their goals against Pakistan in the first ICC Women's Championship One-Day International (ODI) match on Monday. The visitors are ahead 1-0 and key points can still be gained by both teams to enter the 2021 ICC Women's World Cup.
Former captain Sana Mir (4/14) led the attackers that put South Africa out all 63 runs in 22.5 overs. The home team lost the first innings to the visitors, giving them the win with the remaining balls (35.2 overs). It also marked the end of their home victory, following four series wins with whitewash playing against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
South Africa coach Hilton Moreeng said that as the team was disappointed with their game, they decided to put the game back and work on changing the series.
“It started in a very slow fashion especially after the preparations we had. It was all planned to the end, but it was a day when we had to put it right back as a team, ”he said before the second game. “Using some skills was not good, Pakistan played better than us in the day and they made good use of the situation. It's a game we aren't particularly proud of as the home series but we retired as a team and talked about it, we know what needs to happen in two games, starting with tomorrow's game. We still hope we can turn things around. ”
“That's a game,” the coach continued. “You will find games like this. The important thing about the game is how you come back. We know that there are still two games in the series and we want to make sure that we are in the right place in mind, we cannot drag the disappointment into the second game and if you look again the series has escaped. The girls are old enough to know that and they know what is required of them. The arrangements were good and the players were in a good place. They have to get out and use their programs and cool their heads when they play. ”
Thursday's game gives the home team a chance to level the series and look to win from there. With four IWC points remaining, Moreeng believes his team is ready to face the challenge again.
“Two games will be important to us. It's not how you want to start a series but part of the game, these things happen, it will be about how we make progress. Tomorrow we will see a better team, ”he said.
After a bitterly close 2018 following a poor performance at the ICC Women's World T20, South Africa enlisted the help of Sports Psychologist Eugene Oppelt to help the team move forward. The way players and team bosses allow themselves to be done is not necessary and it leaves everyone happy with the new journey taken by the team.
"One part of the game is often overlooked, and in other types of games," said Moreeng. "The players have set a high standard for us, so we need to step in and help the players determine what they want to do on the field and what's going on. Currently it is transparent and well-established. Since the introduction of Eugene (Oppelt), we have seen the growth and ingenuity of the players, which is important to understand, especially for younger players because this situation can be daunting. We can grow as a team from here. ”
Deputy captain Chloe Tryon agreed with the coach, she said;
“We are happy to have him on the team before the series with Sri Lanka. Girls are more familiar, we talk more and our conversation has improved. We are so grateful for what he has done for the team, the girls are happy and we hope to continue with him for a long time. ”
The rain has interrupted the team's training session today, but tomorrow the weather looks cool. The importance of turning the series into a win on Thursday and looking at climate change, Tryon said;
“We were disappointed with what happened that day, but we had to put that behind us. The rain is not good, it's something we can't control but everyone is in a good mood after the previous game and they are sitting in the right frame of mind ahead of what to do. Everyone made the final preparations for yesterday (Tuesday) and we look forward to doing that today again, which is what little can move us forward. The weather will face when it arrives… The weather will change a little but we are not too worried about that, I think we might get used to that. ”
Moreeng agreed with Tryon.
“There is nothing else to say, everybody knows where they are and what needs to be done. Yes it has been raining and the weather can be frustrating there, but the players know what to do, prepare for everything, how to do it. Not everyone's exit wicket for 63 runs, he doesn't
