Even if SA end up in Zimbabwe, there is a sense they will not hold back at that tournament

The T20 World Cup last November held much promise and then the team suffered a meltdown against the Netherlands and failed to qualify for the semifinals. They may yet end up in Zimbabwe — but it will take Ireland to perform miraculously in three ODIs against Bangladesh in May. Any loss for the Irish in that series, a rained-out match or a failure to surpass SA’s net run rate on the Super League log, will result in the Proteas earning the last automatic qualification spot in India later this year.
“We are on the right track, the more we play and the more we bump our heads and figure things out, it will keep guiding us in the right direction,” said Aiden Markram. Bavuma has acknowledged that he felt more support in the last few months than at any stage in the last three years. That’s a familiar theme, which Markram touched on when talking about Sisanda Magala.
