So she will be chomping at the bit to have a crack — not least because the match will be her 50th T20 international.
She’s been in the 30s seven times and once made it to 40 in the format‚ but despite her career strike rate of 142.45 those other 10 runs have proved elusive.
That’s not been helped by the fact that Tyron has only once been able to face 30 balls in an innings‚ and that 33 of her 40 trips to the crease have come at Nos. 5‚ 6 and 7‚ where opportunities can be limited.
But scoring 50‚ or more‚ in a big match is every player’s ambition‚ and South Africans should welcome Tryon’s desire to do so even after having played 121 internationals of all flavours.
“To make my first 50 … it’s something I want to tick off the list‚” Tryon said.
“It’s about playing more smartly and taking more responsibility.”
The rain that has soaked St Lucia for days could influence that hope and a lot more about Thursday’s game.
“Unfortunately we couldn’t [train on Wednesday]‚ but we learnt a lot from the last game‚” Tryon said.
“We’ve got to put all our ideas together but so far everyone’s in a really good space.”
That’s evident from the South Africans’ response to gifting Sri Lanka the highest score of their total of 99/8. Twenty-four of those runs were extras‚ and 19 of them wides.
