The Proteas Women’s team have not had any harsh words after their shock first ODI defeat to Bangladesh on home soil, but they are determined to bounce back in the second ODI at the JB Marks Oval on Wednesday, according to young all-rounder Eliz-mari Marx.
The 20-year-old enjoyed an admirable debut, top-scoring with 35 as the Proteas were bundled out for just 131 in 36.3 overs in pursuit of Bangladesh’s 250-3. The home side can certainly not afford another blowout like that today with the series on the line
Marx claims that the Proteas are ready to raise the level of their performance in order to level the series ahead of the final match in Benoni on Saturday.
“The coaches are obviously disappointed but there definitely weren’t any harsh words. We were certainly not up to the standard that we wanted to play (at),” she said.
“I think going into the next ODI we all have our mindsets ready. I think we are going to capitalise on what’s up for offer. We shouldn’t look too much into the negatives as we can still go away with a 2-1 series win.”
