No excuses: Markram says conditions cannot be blamed if Proteas lose

South Africa will need to find a way to beat the world's top-ranked team, regardless of the conditions.

While better conditions were expected on Saturday, with a more predictable wicket, the Proteas would need to find a way to beat the “Both teams have to play on the same wicket, and ultimately, if you can come up with some plans on the day that can give you a good chance to win, then hopefully it works out.”Despite being forced to dig deep in most of their matches at the tournament thus far, securing narrow victories in seven of their eight games, hope has emerged that this could be their year as the Proteas attempt to become the first SA senior cricket side to win a World Cup.

“It does a lot for the vibe in the changing room, so we’ll take a little bit of confidence from that and see if we can put it to any use in the final.”The Proteas have a troubled history at World Cups, and the current team are trying to change the narrative.
