Cricket World Cup 2023 | Pakistan vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates | Shadab on must-win game today

[Reporter:]

 

So how confident are you about Pakistan's win – because Pakistan still has a chance to go into the semi’s if they win all four matches – because the next match is against South Africa and other tough matches. Because we have fallen down many times before this and come out successfully.

 

[Shadab Khan:]

 

See, like I said earlier, we know how to come out of such situations. And there are miracles in our belief. We have full faith in our team. Our team was playing well before the World Cup. We didn't play well in the World Cup. It's not always the case that we, as a team, did not play well. There are bad days, but I think we will start our winning streak from tomorrow. And, we hope to start our winning streak from tomorrow.

Excerpts from Shadab Khan's pre-match press conference

[Reporter:]

 

The position of the team at the moment, an assessment has been made that the team is not as bad as it has played and the results are showing. Do you think Pakistan has underperformed?

 

[Shadab Khan:]

 

Yes completely. I think we have underperformed, in all three matches. We haven’t underperformed this way before. We know that we are not playing good cricket. But our team has bounced back from this situation before and hopefully, we will come out of this situation.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Pakistan vs South Africa Playing 11 live updates | Proteas wary of Pak challenge

Bavuma said South Africa must remain focussed irrespective of the opponent's standing. "I think that humbles us as a team, and it really gets us to just pull ourselves back and make sure that we still focus on playing good cricket," he said.

 

The Proteas captain, however, took some pleasure in how his team has gone about its business in the World Cup so far. "Five games ago, we weren't probably seen as the favourites, but now, there's a lot more positivity around the Proteas and the South African team. But, yeah, I think the old, cliched way, we're trying to take it day by day and keep enjoying our processes and the journey," he said.

Excerpts from Temba Bavuma's pre-match presentation

 

[Reporter:]

 

Just how are you feeling and how frustrated was it for you to sort of miss those two games?

 

[Temba Bavuma:]

 

Feeling a lot better, thank you. Do feel close to normal physically. Yeah, obviously as a player you want to be playing, it was frustrating. There wasn't really much I could do from their point of view. But I think comfort in the fact that Aiden came in as the leader and he did a very good job. Reza as well with the opportunities that he is given. He did what you'd expect from a replacement player. So, I guess from that, there was comfort. Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better.

Will there be any changes in the side to suit the conditions?

 

[Temba Bavuma:]

 

Yeah, definitely. We haven't finalised the team yet. We haven't seen the wicket yet. It's still under covers, but definitely you can expect for Shamsi to come into play.
