A lot will be at stake when Bangladesh take on South Africa in the third and final ODI at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong today. The Proteas have never lost a series against the Tigers and have only tasted defeats twice in 17 ODIs.
All that may change today but South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir yesterday informed that the visitors are not losing sleep over a potential series defeat and said they are fully prepared for the challenge of the series decider.
“We are not worried about it (losing) at all. If they play well, they are going to win it, but we are a team that never step back from any challenge. So, we are really looking forward to this challenge [today],” Tahir told the pre-match press conference previewing today’s decider at ZACS.
“All is going well in our camp. We are very happy people. But obviously, when we get to the ground we always challenge for position, we always fight. Like I said, we never look back. We have got a good group of people. Look, we are going to give our best. We are not worried about what happened in the last game or the game before. We are just looking forward to [today’s] game,” he said.
Tahir added that their experience of playing in the port-city in the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 will be of great help in the series-decider. The Proteas played four group-stage matches at ZACS and won three of them.
