South Africa’s batter Matthew Breetzke believes his team is ready to face India as they head into the series-deciding third ODI on December 6. With the three-match series level at 1-1, both teams face a must-win clash.
Speaking on the eve of the match, Breetzke highlighted the intensity he expects in the final ODI, saying, “We’re going to have to play good cricket against a really good side. We know that they’re going to be really hungry to win. It’s a must-win game, so it’s going to be a really good contest,” he said, acknowledging the challenge India will present.
Breetzke also shared how much faith he has in his team. He explained, “We’ve got a nice balance in our side with a couple of guys who are proper batters, and then you’ve got powerhouses like (Dewald) Brevis, (Marco) Jansen and Corbin (Bosch) that can change the game on its head.” While highlighting the performance of the middle order, he added, “We’ve got a nice balance in our side with a couple of guys who are proper batters, and then you’ve got powerhouses like (Dewald) Brevis, (Marco) Jansen and Corbin (Bosch) that can change the game on its head.”
He also observed that dew played a big part in the earlier matches, saying, “We have seen that the dew has played a big part (in the first two matches), obviously, in our advantage, batting second, it’s been really nice to bat.”
The series decider will be played in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
