SA vs NED Live: ‘Won’t take them lightly’, Temba Bavuma on playing against Netherlands 

South African skipper Temba Bavuma has said he will not take his Dutch opponents lightly. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Bavuma said, “We definitely won’t be taking them lightly. There was a T20 World Cup last year, so 50 over World Cup now, different format, different ask in terms of your skills, being able to do your skills for a longer period of time. So, I think that’s something that I think we all need to appreciate,”

“Like I said, we played them in South Africa and I think our victories there were emphatic in my view. So, I think in terms of the confidence and belief within the team without us being arrogant or loud about it I think it’s still up there. We still respect opposition, not just Netherlands, but any opposition that you come up with against an international level. But we’ll be coming up, we’ll be coming into the game with the same mindset that we had against Sri Lanka and that we had against Australia,” Bavuma added
