The ball was still nipping around but I guess you have to try to pounce on the loose ones and take away whatever pressure there was. “We wanted to get the score in a good time, but the conditions were a bit tricky.
It’s never easy when you have one guy bowling 150 and another guy in KG who’s got all the skill in the world. We’re blessed to have both those guys running in with the new ball. The conditions reminded us of playing at home. It was a good effort with the ball and then clinical with the bat as well,” Bavuma said. There was quite a lot in the wicket early on, and KG and Nortje were able to exploit it. The Proteas are second in Group 1 of the Super 12 at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and with a net run rate advantage over Australia, know that a win over England might be enough to secure a spot in the last four.įor Bavuma, who scored an unbeaten 31 in the win in Abu Dhabi, the performance of fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortjé, who took three wickets apiece, was a promising sign for the future. SA have virtually been playing knockout cricket since their opening defeat to Australia but after seeing off Bangladesh by six wickets, skipper Temba Bavuma is excited about a potential do-or-die clash with England.
