Dean Elgar on toss: “We’ll beat. It looks dry, as we play two spinners, a good start will be helpful. We play the same team, we work consistently as a leader. We can be as aggressive as a seam bowling unit, it’s important that someone makes three points. with bat. A lot of people would have taken us out, but it has been a smart run so far.We have one test and it is very important for us to win, especially in the World Tournament Tournaments. 👏🏻
