Match Details
Marnus Labuschagne (Player of the Match): "Not sure, not sure. It's a roller coaster. My mum last night called me and said, Not in the team? I said, noh mum, not in the team, not in the team.
I have been pretty disappointed with the way I have been playing One Day cricket. I took a little break and tried to improve. I was lying on the bed and thinking.
Yeah unbelievable partnership. It was nice when little runs were left, you get a kind of giddy, but we stayed calm, and waited for the balls to come. We started for South Africa to come and get the balls coming.
That’s not my job [on selection for Cricket World Cup 2023], my job is to do the best for my team. Whatever happened for my team, I am happy. Well, what made me special, that my mum hung around when I was not playing. The support that I was getting from my family, my mum, my grandma, my sister… and not just them, also everyone out there in Australia, over here in South Africa.”
