In a similar spirit, prominent Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi spoke out about the team’s earlier criticism as chokers, citing their reliance on a single batter or bowler as the cause.
The first side to advance to the summit match of the T20 World Cup 2024 is South Africa. The team will play the victor of England vs India, since all the teams competing will be vying for the prestigious championship.
According to Tabraiz Shamsi, “I personally cannot pinpoint which bowler or which batter is responsible for making us win,” ESPNCricinfo reported.
The Proteas, a team that has been labelled as chokers in ICC competitions on multiple times, may find it nerve-wracking, but things don’t appear to be the same this time around.
“Everyone is pretty laid back, and nobody on this team is expected to win the game for the team. In the past, when other teams or the Proteas teams played, there was a certain batter who was dependable. There was one bowler in particular who was trusted.
I don’t really investigate topics like that very much: Aiden Markram
In addition, South Africa’s captain Aiden Markram discussed his thoughts on the forthcoming World Cup final, comparing it to a regular game of cricket because there can only be one victor and one team must lose in order for the other to win. He did not, however, discount the importance of self-belief in changing the mental dynamics of a dressing room.

“To be honest, I don’t really look into things like that. It’s just a cricket match. In the end, someone has to lose and someone has to win. That’s what the game is all about. You accept it with grace. However, winning close games and maybe even games you believed you wouldn’t win gives you confidence. It makes a big difference for both the atmosphere and your changing area. We’ll use that to gain some confidence and see if it helps us in the championship game, Markram added.
