As much you want to take a lot of confidence out of a previous series, it actually means nothing,&rdquo; said Duminy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;At the end of the day it&#39;s about how you perform on the day in the World Cup tournament. When you get into a knockout phase, it&#39;s not about what&#39;s happened in the past against an Australian, or Sri Lankan team. It comes down to what you&#39;re going to produce on that day.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Ironically, South Africa will also face the West Indies in Group B of the preliminary round, along with the likes of title-holders India, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Ireland and the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">They open their campaign against Zimbabwe in Hamilton before heading to Melbourne in Australia for their second fixture against India.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Duminy, who is returning from injury in time for the tournament, said the challenge of the World Cup was playing consistently.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;In a World Cup you&#39;re probably going to have to win back-to-back games,&rdquo; he noted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;Yes, we&#39;ve won three in a row but the challenge for us will be to go four-nil, five-nil up and put ourselves under that sort of pressure and to take that into the World Cup.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The World Cup is set to be played in 14 cities across Australia and New Zealand, from Feb 14 to March 28.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
