“Just knowing in the back of our minds that we have beaten them and can beat them is important.”

It will be all to play for in Hobart, Tasmania, on Tuesday with Australia and the Proteas Women facing each other in the third and final T20 International.

The Proteas will be targeting a first-ever series win against their Australian counterparts in any format of the game.

A series victory could be even more memorable for the South African allrounder, Marizanne Kapp, who is expected to play in her 100th T20 International.

While the Proteas batting and bowling was on song during the historic 6-wicket win in Canberra on Sunday.

The captain Laura Wolvaardt believes that their fielding can sharpen up.

“Just knowing in the back of our minds that we have beaten them and can beat them is important,” said the prolific South African batter.

“It's always tough coming up against them in a World Cup final knowing that we've never ever beaten them in our history.

“So just to have this one win will hopefully do us very well in future tournaments and to have this extended run against them is awesome.”

The third and final T20 International at the Bellerive Oval gets underway at 10:05 on Tuesday.
