'So it's just to adjust and make sure that we hydrate and stay focused because it takes a lot of our energy. But yes, the girls are doing well, we are fully prepared and ready for this fight,' said Salgado.

'The team is fully focused, prepared and we know what we have to do at the tournament being champions from 2022. Going into the tournament it's going to take a lot of focus and determination because every team that comes here wants to win.
'So we just have to go out there and do what the coach has asked for us and what we've trained,' she said.
To avoid the extreme heat during the day, the South Africans have had to move their training sessions to the cooler early mornings, which Salgado said has not affected their preparations.
