After being handed a 3-0 hiding in last week’s T20 series, captain Temba Bavuma says the Proteas are ready to make amends in the five-match ODI campaign against Australia starting in Bloemfontein on Thursday., but Bavuma remained confident his team would put up a stronger fight in the 50-over games against their perennial rivals, having been boosted by the return of five senior players who were rested during the T20 series.

“As a team, our focus will always be more on ourselves, in terms of what we want to do and how we want to do that, and we have confidence that if we do that, the result will take care of itself.”
