Proteas all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius has said SA will not take winless Bangladesh lightly when the two nations clash in a Group 1 encounter in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
“We know back home there are a lot of people rooting for us and we don’t want to disappoint them. We really appreciate them and the worst thing we want to do is let them down.
“Every time we go over the line we make sure that we leave everything on the field and the nice thing with this game is that we will have three days before we play England [on Saturday, November 6, in Sharjah]. “We are not going to stop fighting until the last ball is bowled and you could see that in our game against Sri Lanka, against Australia and even against the West Indies.
“We are not going to leave anything to chance and we are going to give it our all in every match, that I can promise you,” said the 32-year-old Randfontein right-handed hard-hitting batter, knowing that a comprehensive win will see the Proteas remain in second spot and increase their chances of advancing to the knockout stages ahead of a blockbuster final group clash against rampant Group 1 leaders England.
The Proteas have four points and are in second place in Group 1, four behind England, who have won all of their opening four matches ahead of their clash against Sri Lanka in Sharjah on Monday.
