Inclusion Of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh Has Made Group 1 Tougher: South Africa Captain Bavuma
South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma believes that the inclusion of sub-continent Sri Lanka and Bangladesh from Round 1 has made Group 1 of the Super 12 stage tougher. He added that his team's focus after the five-wicket loss to Australia in their first match of the ICC men's T20 World Cup will now be on the match against defending champions West Indies in Dubai on Tuesday.
"I think the inclusion of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, two sub-continent teams in sub-continent conditions does make the group a lot tougher. The group was never an easy one, but I think we know that in every game, we are going to have to come with our best cricket. I mean, with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh coming in, we'll be preparing as best as we can. Our next assignment now is the West Indies and our focus will be there," said Bavuma in the post-match press conference.
