The PACKED crowd in Newlands is going to be against the Aussies 😲 But they can't wait to enter the cauldron.
As soon as South Africa won that match, fans swarmed the ticket booths to secure a seat to the final.
Tickets sold out in minutes, and Australia will once again play the World Cup final in front of a full house.Newlands can only hold a fraction of the 86,174 who packed the Melbourne Cricket Ground to watch the Aussies win in 2020. And while this time the crowd won't be on their side, captain Meg Lanning hopes to use the energy inside the stadium as added fuel.
"You naturally expect everybody to be going for South Africa, it's their home World Cup and they deserve their opportunity to play off in the finals, so we know sort of what we're up against," Lanning said ahead of the final."We spoke a little bit about just embracing and I think in the past we've always dealt really well with situations like this, just focusing on what we can control and what we're doing.
"It's not scary, it's not something we're not looking forward to, we're actually really pumped to get out here and play at an incredible venue."It's one of my favourite places I've been to, so we're just looking to go out there, play our way and hopefully we can get the job done.
