The Proteas have found themselves struggling to get out of an ever deepening limited overs hole that has seen them lose the One Day International Series to the Indian's by 5 matches to 1, followed by a 28 run loss at the Wanderers on Sunday in the 1st of 3 T20 Internationals.

The home side will yet again be hoping to get things back on track in Centurion and in so doing draw the series level at one a piece with the final T20 set to take place at Newlands in Cape Town this coming weekend.

In order to do this, Protea T20 Captain JP Duminy believes the senior players should lead by example and pull up their socks.

The skipper said, "you are going to go through slumps, be it a senior or a new player and unfortunately throughout the series quite a few senior players have come up short including myself.

"You have got to find a way to get back up onto your feet because that is all you can do at this level", the captain added.

Wednesday's match at SuperSport Park in Centurion is scheduled to get underway at 18:00
