South Africa, yet to lift one-day international cricket's showpiece trophy, have often been the authors of their own downfall, which has led to repeated accusations of 'choking' - an inability to handle pressure.
KOLKATA - Temba Bavuma has insisted that even if his in-form South Africa side lose to unbeaten hosts India in Kolkata on Sunday, it won't be because they have "choked" again at a World Cup.
The manner of those exits has led to repeated accusations of "choking" - an inability to handle pressure - and the Proteas' critics were out in force after their shock loss to the Netherlands earlier in this World Cup. The diminutive 33-year-old added: "We understand that there will be pressure moments within the World Cup, moments that we've overcome to get to this point, and there will still be more. We'll deal with them as best as we can."
"You don't get a lot of bad balls. The three-up front, Bumrah, Siraj, as well as Shami...if there's swing, if there's nip, they can exploit that. You've really got to be on your 'A game' with that new ball."
