Former South African bowler Dale Steyn says he would like to see his country reach the finals of the ODI World Cup to be held in India, but believes India and England will reach the knockout stages. . The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 will be held in India from October 5 to November 19, 2023.
A total of 48 matches will be played in the 46-day ICC event as India hosts the World Cup as the sole host country for the first time. Themba Bavuma’s side will be brimming with confidence after his dramatic comeback with his 3-2 win at home against Australia in the five-match ODI series.
In a conversation with Star Sports, Dale Steyn expressed his love for his country and hoped that South Africa would reach the final in the main event . He believes that the Proteas have an advantage over other teams as many of their players play frequently in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He also believes that David Miller, Heinrich Klassen and Kagiso Rabada have the potential to perform well for the team in this mega-his event.
“That’s a difficult question. “You know that my heart is desperate for South Africa to get to the finals. Their team, a lot of their players are playing in the IPL, and they are playing in India regularly and I would be happy if they could reach the final.”There are players like David Miller and Heinrich Claassen who are starting to understand these situations and can bat well there. ”
“And then you have KG Rabada who has been bowling there for many years and a lot of other senior players who have played a lot of cricket there as well.” So they go ahead and sign those players. I feel like there is. “We can make it to the finals,” Dale Stein said.
Rabada and Lungi Ngidi can handle the new ball, Jansen and Coetzee are deadly weapons in the middle overs alongside the spinners, and batsmen Quinton de Kock and Miller and Klaasen can play an important role. The team has ample experience of playing in the subcontinent and has therefore been able to succeed in the Indian conditions.
South Africa will be satisfied with their performance in India in this tournament. The Proteas have a good team of batsmen and bowlers who can take games away from their opponents in his upcoming ODI World Cup.
