I think the achievement is one heck of a one and I think we should be proud of ourselves tonight,&quot; said Erasmus at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The skipper also praised senior pro David Wiese for his all-around show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I count on my senior players (Wiese) to stand up when the pressure is on in a tough game like this and two of us did it tonight and hopefully, throughout the tournament we can continue doing that,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/t20-cricket-world-cup\">T20 World Cup 2021<\/a><\/p><p>Talking about his emotions after the win, Erasmus said, &quot;Not yet (has it sunk in yet?), maybe on the way back home or maybe only tomorrow or maybe at the end of the tournament.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
