The hosts have been without senior paceman and fledgling Knights bowler Gerald Coetzee through injury, but Merrick Brett from Northerns has deputised well in his absence.
Mahatlane also credited the batting group for their improved performances after their embarrassing showing against Afghanistan in the opening game.Our bowling attack has been affected by a couple of injuries, but I think we'll be back to full strength for the Bangladesh game on Thursday.Hopefully, the boys will stand up and the batsmen, they've been a good group and they can be proud of what they've achieved,” Mahatlane said.
They capitalised on a good platform set by Khanya Cotani and Bird in Bloemfontein on Saturday with a 152-run stand that was the difference between them and the UAE.
