“We are looking forward to heading back to Dhaka for our next challenge in this tournament, which will be our semi-final against England or West Indies. We've played some good cricket up until this point and enjoyed the atmosphere in Sylhet. The big games are still to come and this is a situation we've found ourselves in in recent times and hopefully that experience will bode well for us," said Lanning.

“The girls have been working so hard for the past few years. We knew we had it in us but we could never make it click in the crucial stages, so to do that tonight is absolutely amazing. I’m honoured to be captain of this team and to lead South Africa in our first semi-finals,” said Du Preez.

“As a side, we can’t rush into things as we are still a developing side,” she said, adding: “We have been around for a while, but the success we’ve enjoyed has been tremendous. It’s a pleasure to lead this team because we came together from nowhere and have turned into a team that’s made people sit up and take notice. We will be looking forward to doing even better things.”

This is the part of the tournament we all looking forward to, we get to play in front of the big crowds and a television audience. We really can’t wait to get there,” said Edwards.
