Proteas eye series win

The Standard Bank Proteas will be driven by the possibility of a series win when they take on Australia in the third Momentum One-Day International (ODI) at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Wednesday. The Proteas lead the series 2-0 with three matches to play, and are within reach of their first series win against Australia at home since 2009. After two dominant performances on the Highveld, the series moves to the more placid and slower coastal conditions, which will require a change of mindset and approach. Proteas batsman, Rilee Rossouw, has looked in great form following scores of 63 and 75 at the top of the order, but admits he is disappointed he hasn’t converted his starts into bigger scores. Rossouw has overcome a tough period on the side-lines following two serious injuries, and is relieved to be back playing. He says his aggressive approach has come down to the freedom of expression he has been given by the team and support staff, along with the trust and belief in his own abilities.
