South Africa need just one good performance to turn it around says J P Duminy as the side gears up to take on "big threat" India, a side packed with many a match winners.

South Africa are gasping for breath after successive losses in the first two World Cup matches. They were thrashed by England in the opening match before suffering a 21-run loss to Bangladesh at the Oval on Sunday.

"I don't think we are far away. We were 21 runs short and we can identify areas where we could have made that up whether the bat or the ball," said Duminy after South Africa could score 309 for 8 while chasing 330 for 6 against Bangladesh.

"We are one good performance away from creating a bit of momentum."
"... Obviously one of the best batsman in the world in Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni with his experience, so they pose a big threat. But the beauty of the game and the tournament structure is that, it doesn't matter where you are ranked or which team you are playing. It is about the performance of the day and that is the most important thing."
"At the end of the day, it comes down to partnerships and we fell short. Honesty has always been one of our pillars. It's about understanding where we can improve."
