LAHORE: South African captain Temba Bumoma has called on his team to increase its intensity, especially when Ken Williamson faces, as he is ready for the ICC Champions Trophy’s most expected semi -final against New Zealand at Gaddafi Stadium.

Talking to the media on Tuesday, Baomoma acknowledged Williamson’s tremendous record against South Africa, calling him a “thorn on his behalf.” New Zealand captain has been excellent, scoring 81 runs in the recent league match against India and has won his last two ODIs against Proteas in his last two ODIs, including 133* winning the match in Lahore last month during the Treau Nation series.

“Yes, he (Williamson) is thorn on us, and we have some plans for it,” said Bumoma. When he comes to the bat, we need to increase our intensity. We have a strategy, but in the end, it will be the key to implementing it.

Despite the loss of New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday, Baomoma rejected any idea that his confidence would be shaken. He said he had won all his matches in Pakistan and he was a balanced aspect. I do not think their confidence in India was affected by the defeat.

When asked if he would like to play the final in Lahore or Dubai, Bumoma emphasized that his focus was fully on the semi -finals. He said, “India is currently a strong team in the tournament, but we are not looking forward.”

Traveling to Dubai to determine its semi -finals only about the logistics challenge of South Africa and Australia, Boma acknowledged that this was not ideal. “This is not something we can control. We just had to accept the logistics of the tournament and move on.

South Africa is dealing with the injured before the crucial knock -out collision. Eden Markram, the latest accident, is taking care of a hamstring injury, forcing Proteas to call left -wing spin all -rounder George Linde as a cover.

“Linds are in only one case here, but Eden Markram will conduct a fitness test today,” said Bumoma. He also provided updates about the health of himself and Tony de Zurzi, confirmed that both are recovering after fighting the disease in recent days.

SA is ready for the SA challenge despite Sentner NZ’s busy schedule

Since New Zealand prepares to face South Africa in the Champions Trophy semi -final on Wednesday, March 5, Captain Mitchell Sentner has expressed concern over the schedule of the tournament.

Addressing a press conference ahead of the crucial match, Sentner highlighted the physical tool that the pack scheduled on the players.

After his last group stage match against India on March 2 in Dubai, the Black Caps had to travel back to Pakistan for the semi -final confrontation in Lahore. Sentner remarked, “The schedule is a problem … to be tired on the body. He acknowledged the challenges facing the current international and franchise league schedules, acknowledging that he was not sure what changes could be made to overcome the burden on the players.

“I think scheduling is a problem all around. When you have time to rest and recover, this is very important. One day cricket can cause a lot of exhaustion on the body, “Sentner said. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that the bowlers are well prepared for the coming match against South Africa.” For us, it is ensuring that the bowlers are ready. I can’t imagine that they will be doing a lot today, just getting ready.

Sentner also commented on the difficulties facing the players due to extensive journey. When we arrived here, it was probably a day’s sleep. It was a hard journey, but it was nice to work, get here and reset a kind. The team is focusing on well recovering and getting ready for the semi -finals.

The Champions Trophy has adopted a hybrid model this year, in which India is playing all its matches and its semi -finals in Dubai due to political tensions with Pakistan. Critics have argued that this arrangement benefits India unfairly. All other teams involved in Group A, including Pakistan, New Zealand and Bangladesh, had to travel to Dubai to play the role of India, who won all three matches. Despite the challenges, Sentner expressed confidence in his team’s preparation and preparation for the semi -finals.
