" Hopefully, on better wickets, we can find our swings and be our natural self"
After winning a number of "scrappy game" in the opening days of the opposition, Heinrich Klaasen believes South Africa is battle-hardened for the business side of the T20 World Cup 2024.
South Africa defeated Bangladesh and Nepal in jittery work chases to defend results of 113 and 115, respectively, in the party stages. Wednesday's 18- run get over USA in Antigua was their most compelling success thus far, but was still a small game.
Their full of 194 for 4- underpinned by Quinton de Kock's pitches of 74 off 40 pellets- was, by a range, their highest of the World Cup. Klaasen, who made 36 certainly out off 22 at the death, said they had enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy on" a suitable batsman" after such strong bowling problems in the early stages.
" I thought we had a line total", Klaasen said. " Our cricketers got put a little bit under the pumps at the back end of the game, so it was a great vacation for the bowlers. The bowlers needed it more than the cricketers, guys getting their jumps again. It was quite hard in America and looking around the Caribbean, the batsmen are getting better and better.
" We had four scrappy]group ] games that we pulled through. It was n't pretty. Our batsmen bowled very well in those five games today. The bowlers simply [needed to ] find a way to scrape, and we had to slightly alter our gameplays. Finally, on better innings, we can get our swings and become our normal selves. That's the one positive that's also out there for us to get find.
" But the rest of the means we've been playing, grafting, and adapting to circumstances is beautiful and shows the group's age," the group said. We are undoubtedly anticipating that flawless encounter, but we should get that out as the game progresses and when it really matters.
South Africa experience England in St Lucia on Friday night ( local time ) where the games have been much large- rating: England bossed the 181 chase against West Indies, Australia chased down 181 against Scotland, while Sri Lanka and West Indies both posted 200- plus totals against Netherlands and Afghanistan, both.
Klaasen praised the US portion of the game as doing the team a lot of fine. We handled pressure situations also and learned a lot from it. On fine wickets, the men look like they're keeping quiet and they know their activity programs.
" It's all about murder and I do n't think against the US our demise- hitting was particularly great. We are looking forward to finding our jumps once more after they bowled very nicely. Finally, we can dollars in against England … They've had an indifferent event with a lot of rainfall and rainfall- affected games but they're an extremely risky side.
" We need to be aware of that and enjoy our great times greater than what they do because they have a lot of match-winners," he said. However, like we saw throughout the World Cup, cricket is a humorous game. It's going to be great if we as South Africa can win two out of three and finally secure ourselves a spot in the semi-finals.
