– Gibbs and Donald tip Proteas to succeed where they failed

Though the Proteas legends have shared their past heartaches at the World Cup, they believe experience and form will carry the current side over the line in Saturday's T20 final.

The veterans of past World Cup heartaches and near-misses singled out experience, lessons learned and the form of key players as South Africa aim to win their first-ever trophy at the global showpiece. Gibbs will remember the tournament for dropping an easy catch with Steve Waugh on 48 in the Super Sixes to allow the Aussie captain to score 120 not out and win the game for his side.“They have found a way to win every time, someone has made a breakthrough, or someone has come up with crucial runs eight matches in a row.”“They have done it the hard way and now that they’ve got to the final, I believe the cricketing gods will smile on us,” Gibbs said.
