South Africa's Bavuma looks at 'tailored strategy' in key England game
South African skipper Temba Bavuma on Friday said his side will have to put in a "spirited effort" to overcome unbeaten England in a key Twenty20 World Cup clash.
To be assured of a place in the semi-finals South Africa need to win their final Super 12 match in Abu Dhabi on Saturday and hope outgoing champions West Indies beat Australia.
The Proteas have won three of their four matches but are behind Australia who have a better run-rate.
However, Bavuma -- who will know what is required of his side by the time the match starts as the Aussies play before them -- believes in keeping things simple.
"I think every game we've kind of had a tailored strategy, you could say, according to the opposition that we're playing," said Bavuma.
"Like I said, we'll still be putting in our spirited effort.
"England is obviously a strong side. We've seen that not just in this tournament but over the years.
"As a team we'll know that we'll have to be at our best in all our departments."
Bavuma said the England clash was effectively a knockout match for his side.
"It has been labelled as a quarterfinal for us," he said.
"What's happening with Australia, West Indies, I guess what helps us is that their game happens before our game, so we'll kind of get a better sense or understanding as to how we need to approach the England game."
