Proteas confident of World T20 preparations despite rain disrupting Oz series

South Africa is reportedly confident of their preparation for the ICC World Twenty20, despite rain disrupting the T20 International series against Australia.

The first match in Port Elizabeth was abandoned without a ball bowled, and rain could also affect the remaining two fixtures before the team departs for Bangladesh on Saturday.

According to Sport24, however, South African captain Faf du Plessis is reassured by the fact that they have two warm-up matches in Dhaka before their opening match against Sri Lanka on March 22, saying that it will be good preparation as the matches would be played in sub-continental conditions.

Stating that they are ready as a team to head to the World Cup given their current form, Du Plessis however, said that the games against Australia re important as they would help his men get time in the middle and also get used to the white ball. The report mentioned that South Africa's last T20I was a drawn series against Pakistan at home in November, and Du Plessis also said that the biggest key for them as a team is their reflection points given their recent victories against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
