It is helping them "build personality" within the team, the skilled spin said
What has South Africa changed since the T20 World Cup in 2024 to maintain its undefeated start? Experienced left-arm spin Keshav Maharaj believes his part have won the" little events" in squeeze activities, which they'd never done well in previous World Cups, which is helping them "build personality".
" If you look at previous World Cups, the small moments, we have n't really won," he said. " It's great to see that all the game have come really close and we've found a manner, so it's building the figure within the team. And it makes us aware of some opportunities that might come our way in those tense times, because we've always done it before. But, it's good to see us getting into that. "
Four out of six game South Africa have played so far at the T20 World Cup have been near ends. A last-ball succeed against Nepal in Kingstown ensured they made a clean sweep of the group period. The suit against England ended with a comfortable win over the USA in the opening Super Eight activity. Maharashtra's batsman total increased to eight, taking Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler, respectively, in the match.
Maharaj added that South Africa have tried their best to set the "hurt" from the ODI World Cup 2023 in India, where they were knocked out by Australia in the semi-finals, on.
" This team believes that we can become really fantastic as a product," he said. " Evidently, with the last World Cup, bowing out in the semi-finals, it's both the personality and there's a lot of damage. So, we really take it one game at a time and concentrate on trying to get the results to come our way and never looking at the drawbacks, simply trying to highlight the negatives as much as possible. "
South Africa will then experience West Indies on Sunday night in North Sound, Antigua. The match will also see a battle of the sides ' left-arm spinners: Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi for South Africa versus West Indies ' Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie. Hosein and Motie have been West Indies ' best bowlers at the game so much, the former having picked nine innings and the latter eight in six games.
" It's often a challenge of the bowlers," Maharaj said. " I'm only going about my business. They've bowled exceedingly well in the game. They've obviously become quite a powerful force after a number of their spells, which is obvious. They [ West Indies ] have got a very strong batting line-up, but [ I will ] just try to stick true to my processes and my principles.
" It's more a case of focusing on each and every activity, not getting too ahead of ourselves. We've been really focused on our processes and trying to win each and every activity and letting the rest take care of itself. "
