SA Will Shine Through In Champions Trophy, Says Walter After 3-0 Loss To Pakistan
Champions Trophy: Despite suffering a 3-0 ODI series defeat to Pakistan, South Africa head coach Rob Walter said he is confident of the team shining in major tournaments like next year’s Champions Trophy, citing his team’s track record in last two World Cups.
Pakistan winning the final ODI by 36 runs via DLS method at Johannesburg confirmed South Africa being clean-swept in a home series for the first time. "I know they'll shine through when it comes to these world events, these marquee events. The guys tend to step up. They tend to bring their best cricket. We've seen that for two World Cups in a row," Walter was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
In the run-up to the Champions Trophy, South Africa are scheduled to play a tri-series in Pakistan. But they might be without some of their first-choice players for the tri-series as it clashes with the ending stages of SA20, which Walter believes would pose a challenge.
