'The Main Thing Is That We Ended Up On The Right Side', Says Dercksen After SA’s First T20 WC Win
T20 World Cup: South Africa’s seam-bowling all‑rounder Annerie Dercksen admitted she felt immense relief after the side past Pakistan by two wickets to register their first win of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, adding that ending up on the right side of the result was the main thing for them.
Promoted to number three, Annerie struck 52 - her maiden T20 World Cup half‑century – to take the Proteas over the line in a chase of 127 at Edgbaston. "I said to the team I'm probably going to die 30 years before I should, because we have a knack of doing this, but the main thing is that we ended up on the right side.
"We've done it a couple of times in World Cups now. Credit to the team, credit to the people coming in and pulling that game through for us, because I think at one stage the odds were probably stacked against us a little. I'm just really proud of the fact that we were able to pull that through.
