"Our first target will be to reach the semi-finals, but for that you need to be able to play good cricket throughout the tournament and have good momentum," Mithali was quoted on ICC's official website as saying.

"For me, the Quadrangular Series was fantastic -- we played very convincingly and as a team we performed really well. We're looking to produce the same kind of performance over here."

"The conditions there (South Africa) are completely different to what we are facing here in England. We can take a lot of confidence, but we need to start fresh again in the World Cup," she added.
