Men’s ODI WC: Temba Bavuma Likely To Be A Doubtful Starter For South Africa’s Semi-final Clash Due To Hamstring Injury
ODI World Cup: South Africa captain Temba Bavuma is likely to be a doubtful starter for their semi-final clash in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup after sustaining a hamstring injury in their final league match, which they won by five wickets against Afghanistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday.
Bavuma left the field after nine balls of the first innings, and returned four overs later but limped while fielding mostly at mid-off. He ran after the balls gingerly while fielding and hobbled while running as an opening batter, especially when it came down to taking singles.
"Obviously my leg is sore - don't know to what extent - but it's going to have to be fine (for the semi-final). Obviously I had that option of coming off, but I think as much as it was our last group-stage game, probably it didn't have a big bearing in terms of the play-off."
