After winning the Test, South Africa enters the series on a high note and will want to maintain that momentum in a format where their transitioning team has sometimes struggled. The visitors are nonetheless optimistic that the confidence garnered from red-ball success may convert into white-ball sharpness, even in the absence of pace leaders Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. This is especially true in conditions that will once again test their flexibility.
As they continue experimenting with combinations in preparation for the 2027 World Cup, South Africa’s batting coach Ashwell Prince stated on Saturday that the Proteas’ ODI team still needs to hone its temperament in “clutch moments.”
