NEW DELHI: South Africa, a nation that has never won the 50-over World Cup despite producing top players and teams, are determined to shed the 'chokers' tag in this edition of the tournament. With impressive performances, including a 400-plus total and a near-400 total, as well as a massive 229-run victory over reigning champions England, South Africa is making a strong statement ahead of their fixtures against New Zealand and India.
Heinrich Klaasen, who played a blistering 67-ball 109 against England, sees these upcoming matches as an opportunity for his team to perform under high-pressure situations, an area that has been a challenge for South African teams in the past.
