WHAT THE CAPTAIN SAYS
"The confidence that we have gained from this series is something which we can't lose. I was talking to the bowlers and they said it was the best kind of preparation that we can have, bowling in pressure situations."
Temba Bavuma after his team defeated Australia 3-2 after being 2-0 down in a recent ODI series, winning the last three matches by more than 100 runs each time.
