Proteas middle-order batsman Heinrich Klaasen says the team has taken much confidence from the nail-biting nine-run victory over India as they prepare for the second clash in Ranchi on Sunday.
“The ball obviously spun a lot. We have been working hard over the last few years to play these conditions better,” Klaasen said.
“Today, we picked the right game plan to be able to take away the danger ball, which we thought was on a good length and spun quite a bit. So we had to take that out of play and find ways to rotate the strike,” he said.“I think it wasn’t easy up front for both sides. We bowled extremely well and I think Quinny played an exceptional innings as well.
“For me and Davo , we just said that we need to keep going, we cannot let our middle or lower order come to bat in these conditions, we are experienced enough and we have to do all the hard work.
