Waited For Ball In My Area, Just Tried To Play What Was In Front Of Me, Says Esterhuizen
MI Cape Town: After hitting a match-winning 57 to guide South Africa to a series-levelling victory over New Zealand in the fourth T20I, wicketkeeper-batter Connor Esterhuizen said his aim while batting was to wait for the ball and just try to play as per what was in front of him.
In the Proteas winning by 19 runs, Esterhuizen hit his maiden T20I half-century after making 45, 8 and 15 in his first three games on the ongoing trip to New Zealand. "In the second game, I was maybe a bit defensive and didn't have as much intent as I could have. And then the last game, maybe I was trying to play a shot a ball.
"Whereas this innings I just tried to play what was in front of me, normal cricket shots, and waited for the ball in my area. That was the only difference," said Esterhuizen in the post-match press conference.
