Men’s ODI WC: One Thing We Did Well Is We Never Lost Wickets In Clusters, Says Rassie Van Der Dussen
ODI World Cup: In the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, South Africa haven’t had a great time batting second as compared to their batting first exploits. Barring a nervy one-wicket win over Pakistan, South Africa had been on the losing side in chases against Netherlands and India.
But at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, South Africa successfully chased down 245 against Afghanistan and seal a five-wicket win in their last league match before semi-finals arrive. The successful chase was spearheaded by Rassie van der Dussen, who made an unbeaten 76 off 95 balls.
“Coming into this match, we wanted to put ourselves in that situation. So if we won the toss we would have bowled anyway, because we wanted to put ourselves in that situation, knowing that they've got a really strong spin attack especially. I think it was largely controlled. There were one or two nervy moments, but it's always in the chases like that.”
