We have to hit the ground running, says Proteas captain Bavuma ahead of showdown against Australia BraMahlatse
The Proteas go into this first match of the Super 12 with confidence after they won their last five T20 matches against Sri Lanka and Ireland while Australia were not that impressive with only one victory during their series against Bangladesh.
Bavuma said they are not reading much from Australia’s recent T20 struggles against the West Indies and Bangladesh. “So, we won’t be undermining them looking at their past results, we know what type of team they are and it is important for us to bring our A-game.” “Obviously their bowling attack is strong and having played them in the past they are a type of team that looks to strike up front and really try to get into that middle order. From our point of view with the bat, we want to make sure that we play as well as we can so that we don’t allow them to get into out middle order with their slow bowlers.
