South Africa Twenty20 captain Faf du Plessis has said that playing conditions at the World T20 competition in Bangladesh are a challenge for teams like South Africa, Australia and England, but feels that his team has the ability and stability to handle them.
Du Plessis said that South Africa has got a lot of players who have played a lot of Indian Premier League cricket and had quite a few tours in India, Sri Lanka and even Bangladesh and so they have definitely played in such conditions to understand what to expect.
According to Sport24, the skipper said that both the fast bowlers and spinners combined would play a big part in the competition as for a team like Bangladesh it is not always just spin and conditions do allow for fast bowlers to do well.
Du Plessis added that the Proteas have got a really good bowling attack when it comes to fast bowlers and also said that his squad has the ability to do well in Bangladesh.
The batsman also said that South Africa has had a stable batting line-up for the last year and that stability is one of the reasons of their success in the subcontinent, the report added.
