Men’s ODI WC: The Way We Started With The Bat And The Ball Was Probably The Turning Point, Says Bavuma
After South Africa: After South Africa’s campaign in 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup came to an end with a three-wicket semi-final defeat to Australia, captain Temba Bavuma admitted that the way Proteas began with the bat and ball turned out to be the turning point of the match for his team.
"Quite hard to put into words. They were outstanding for a large part of the game and thoroughly deserved victory. Looking at the result, I think the way we started with the bat and the ball was probably the turning point. We lost it quite badly there and we always had to play catch-up to get ourselves back into the game," said Bavuma to broadcasters after the game ended.
After electing to bat first, South Africa were 24/4 in 12 overs, thanks to some Test match bowling from Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. They then allowed Australia to score 74/2 in their first ten overs of the chase, thereby sealing the deal for the five-time champions, although the Proteas did try to stage a comeback in the game.
