'Harsh words' in store for South Africa flops, warns Du Plessis CWC19
LONDON - Faf du Plessis warned his South Africa flops to expect "harsh words" as the skipper fights to save his country's spluttering World Cup challenge.
It was a bitter defeat for Du Plessis, who took his share of the blame when he admitted he was wrong to put Bangladesh into bat after winning the toss. "There's a time for strictness, and when you see that a dressing room needs you to be strong and to motivate them. But today was not good enough. Adding to South Africa's woes, Lungi Ngidi sustained a hamstring strain against Bangladesh that will rule him out for up to 10 days.
