IND vs SA: South African team should not think too much – Morne Morkel
In the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma and company have made their mark in all three departments – bowling, batting or fielding. Facing India in the final is going to be full of challenges for the South African team. Morne Morkel suggested to the team that the team should not think too much against India. And should stick to the plan to deal with players like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav.
Jasprit Bumrah has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches in the ongoing tournament, while Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets in just 4 matches. It will be a big challenge for South Africa to deal with these two bowlers.
Morne Morkel, while speaking on ESPNcricinfo, said,
I think you need to play in the moment. Yes, they know that Jasprit can take wickets later on. When he bowls two overs, he will prove to be important in the death overs. So will they start building pressure a little earlier in that batting innings to get to a respectable score?
Honestly, I think we can’t think too much about it. Kuldeep is obviously incredible in the middle overs for India, he is a wicket-taker. He can stop the game, create a lot of pressure. South Africa need to get out of those panics and those moments and take it ball by ball.
