After the Proteas surprisingly lost the first test against Pakistan at the start of the season about a month ago, they have turned things around in the middle. It seems as if, like Dale Steyn admitted, they probably got a huge wakeup call after that initial loss. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength and started hitting their stride with regularity.
A young player like Quinton de Kock got a rare opportunity in the one-day team and made full use of it by scoring his maiden one-day international century. It was an inspiring knock by a great young cricket talent, which is surely going to boost his future performances. What is furthermore encouraging about De Kock's form in the shorter version of the game is that he seems to inspire some of the other batsmen, who were struggling for a bit of form a few weeks ago, to start making worthwhile contributions as well.
Are the Proteas going to make it 2-0 in the T-20's after they jogged through to victory in the first game on Wednesday? The second and final T20 fixture is Friday and starts at 6 pm SA time.
What is your prediction and why?
