The Proteas go into the match placed third in Group 1 behind Australia, who will significantly improve their better run rate with a comprehensive win over already eliminated West Indies, also on Saturday. “In the context of the event we are at, tomorrow is obviously a big game. Some have even called it a quarterfinal. From that point of view and looking at our expectations as a team in this event, we want to play our best cricket tomorrow. First point of call will be to win the game.”
“Every game we always speak about going out and fighting as a team. We don’t rely on individual players, but it’s all about working together as a team,” Bavuma said.
