She also mentioned that their outings in the Tri-Nation series and the ODI series against the West Indies provided them with the perfect stage for preparation. “We obviously headed to Sri Lanka and West Indies for the two series, which was very good for us as well, just to find our roles and game plans and stuff like that. It's been a very good year of lead-up and build-up. I think all the girls are in a good space with cricket, a good mental space as well,” she said.

Talking about their goal for the World Cup, Luus was clear: “Our first goal is obviously to reach that final. We've never done that and [we can] make history in that regard. So, that'd be the first goal for us.”
