Tammy Beaumont, a key member of England’s victorious 2017 World Cup team, is gearing up for the upcoming challenges in the cricket tournament. Beaumont has 21 not out and 13 on the board in this World Cup. Now, she looks back on her team’s experience and the cutthroat competition of the tourney. Here, she underscores why it is so important to push past formative hurdles. She particularly mentions the recent wobble against Bangladesh and feels that will help make England stronger as they look ahead.
The wickets in this World Cup have been the hot topic. Beaumont emphasized that they are working to close the divide between squads. This reduction of the competitive balance highlights the drama of each matchup, making every match important in the pursuit of the championship.
“It’s great to see that any team in this competition can beat anyone, but I think that kind of batting depth will be the difference between the top four and the rest,” – Tammy Beaumont.
Beaumont welcomes the new blood coming through in women’s cricket. She takes great pride in the relationships she’s built, and specifically points to her bond with Nadine de Klerk, a fellow South African who Tyler has played with on the Blaze. This backdrop provides an added dimension of individual animosity as England get set to do battle with the Proteas.
“I know Nadine quite well, having played with her at the Blaze,” – Tammy Beaumont.
She was no wuss either, Ms. Tutu acknowledged de Klerk’s determination, commenting on her formidable competitiveness.
“She’s an absolute fighter and a competitor, so it doesn’t surprise me that she pulled that out of the bag,” – Tammy Beaumont.
As the tournament continues, Beaumont knows how important it is to win the early pool matches and gain momentum. She underlines the importance of every match, especially after seeing Bangladesh deliver one of their greatest-ever upsets after beating England. Looking ahead, she expects a difficult test against Sri Lanka, particularly with the added attack of their home conditions.
“Every game in this World Cup is big. Bangladesh played so well against us and Sri Lanka will be a challenge in home conditions,” – Tammy Beaumont.
With a busy fall lineup coming up, Beaumont is high on her team’s potential heading into the year. She has confidence that they can build off of their new successes. With that momentum, they’ll surely feel unstoppable as they head into the next rounds of the tourney.
“It certainly feels like the fixtures have worked quite well for us, so hopefully we can keep building that momentum and it will be all guns blazing by the time we get to Indore,” – Tammy Beaumont.
Additionally, Beaumont is keenly aware of the prospect of performing to passionate audiences. She really loves that feeling of doing concerts in these stadiums that are completely sold out. It’s the electricity her presence creates that she loves.
“It will be amazing to play in front of a sold-out crowd,” – Tammy Beaumont.
As England prepares for its next match, Beaumont’s insights reflect a strong belief in her team’s capabilities. Her experience from past tournaments and current performance positions her as a pivotal figure in England’s quest for another World Cup title.
