Proteas need series win against Black Caps | News Article

Proteas coach, Russell Domingo has called for a turnaround performance from his team when they face the Black Caps of New Zealand today in the third and final One-Day International.

The two teams enter the match with the series on one game apiece after South Africa won the first ODI by 20-runs and the Kiwis won Sunday’s second match by 8 wickets in Potchefstroom.

South Africa are under pressure to clinch the series after recently losing their three match ODI series against Bangladesh on the subcontinent.

Furthermore the team is desperately looking for a boost with the side heading to India for a massive 72-day tour of India and England coming later in the summer.

Speaking in Durban, Domingo says things have been disjointed in the Proteas camp since the World Cup, but they need to learn to adjust.

"We haven’t got that continuity yet, we haven’t found that recipe yet.

“New Zealand have just come off a good tour of England and Zimbabwe where they have been playing together as a unit, we haven’t had that yet.

"Since the World Cup we have played five ODI’s in trying conditions and we need to be able to adjust better to conditions than we have at the moment.

 

Today’s series deciding ODI at Kingsmead in Durban gets underway 12:30.
