The Proteas will be in action at the ICC Cricket World Cup in India on Tuesday when they face the Netherlands in Dharamshala.

The Proteas will be starting a third-straight win at the World Cup following big wins over Sri Lanka and Australia in their first two games.

Dharamshala is considered to be one of the most beautiful venues to play cricket with the picturesque Himalaya’s in the background, and the conditions won’t be too foreign for South Africa as they know the ground well.

The Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma, said it’s important to stick to what has been working for them.

“I think to go back to what have been said regarding our brand of cricket, us being opportunistic as batters, as bowlers, looking to take the game on,” said Bavuma.

“That obviously means that the strike rates will be a bit higher. If you look at our top six, top seven, all of the guys really have been striking at high strike rates.

“Other guys are obviously exceeding in that department. But I think it's just more a matter of us keeping up the intent, looking for opportunities to put bowlers under pressure and obviously backing our skills and execution.

“So, coming into the World Cup, nothing is going to be different. We're going to keep going the same way. We're going to keep backing that.”

Play in Dharamshala is set to get underway at 10:30.
