Rookie pacer Junior Dala admitted that the South African bowlers’ execution in the first T20I wasn’t up to the mark and they needed to be “more proactive rather than being reactive” in the second game.
“When you play T20 cricket, you have to assess the wicket early on. We had a gameplan and we all stuck to it. The Indians, too, saw us bowl. In hindsight, they saw what we did and how the wicket was and they adjusted,” said Dala.
Dala is amongst a clutch of new faces in the T20I series. “I was a bit nervous. I don’t bowl in PowerPlay even for Titans and I was just glad I could control the ball. Maybe, there was too much adrenaline. But I could have done better.”
