Standard Bank Proteas batsman, Hashim Amla, believes the Momentum One-Day International (ODI) series loss to India has exposed key learnings for the squad going forward. The Proteas face India in the sixth ODI at SuperSport Park on Friday, and although it is a dead-rubber, the squad remains motivated to finish the series on a high. This is the Proteas’ last ODI of the summer – the next series is against Sri Lanka in July – and will be the last opportunity for fringe players to make a claim for spots going forward. The Proteas’ batting has been the let-down of the series, but the absence of some experienced batsmen has given Ottis Gibson and the selectors a glimpse of the batting resources. Amla says India’s spinners have been the different between the two sides, but admits the game plans have improved as the series has progressed. Chris Morris is available for selection after recovering from a stiff lower back that side-lined him in the fifth ODI.
