T20 World Cup: ‘As A Kid You Always Dream About Playing For South Africa’, Ottniel Baartman
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: South Africa fast-bowler Ottneil Baartman said he is relishing the sweet feeling of representing South Africa in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup, a prospect which has been a dream come true for him.
Baartman, 31, claimed remarkable figures of 1-9 in his four overs against Sri Lanka in South Africa’s opening Group D win at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, including taking the wicket of Pathum Nissanka on his very first delivery of T20 World Cup.
South Africa will again be in action when they face the Netherlands at New York on Saturday evening. Baartman’s debut for South Africa in the shortest format came just 11 days before the Sri Lanka clash at New York, when the Proteas played in a T20I series against West Indies in Kingston. “Obviously as a kid you always dream about playing for South Africa, playing for your country.”
