To get to the last four, the Proteas managed five consecutive and convincing victories in the early stages over Fiji‚ Trinidad and Tobago‚ Jamaica‚ Scotland and Uganda but lost to England on Thursday. BraMahlatse

Plummer said the South Africans must manage the nerves and don’t be overawed by the occasion in their daunting mission of beating the Australian Diamonds for the first time in 39 meetings and booking a place in the final.

If the Proteas upset the heavy odds and beat hot favourites Australia, they will play the winner of the other semi-final between hosts England and New Zealand. “Going out against the most dominant force in world netball will have to be well managed,” said Plummer who coached Australia to World Cup glory in 2007 and 2011.
