'We're focused on 3-0'

While Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has been talking about jettisoning the mindset that they have displayed in the last two games, it speaks to South Africa's performance on this tour so far that all they want to do now is continue the mindset with which they have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series.

"Something that we spoke about before the series started was that we wanted to make sure of the 'walkaway' feel," said South Africa batsman JP Duminy yesterday at Buffalo Park. "That's still our main focus. We've had two amazing games, but that does not take away from the goal, which is to go out there and put in a solid performance and walk away 3-0.

"Bangladesh are a team that's always going to give their best, always going to challenge us in certain departments and I think the key for us is to focus on what we have been trying to do in the last two games. I think that's been the important factor in the last two games; that has been our success story. If we can go into tomorrow [Sunday] with that kind of mindset, it will stand us in good stead."

While crediting Bangladesh as a good one-day outfit, he was not mincing words when summing up the events that have led the two teams here. "We've been disciplined in all departments, put a lot of focus on what we are trying to achieve, and fortunately for us we have blown them away in all departments. It doesn't take away from what's going to happen tomorrow; I still believe that Bangladesh are going to come out trying to prove a point, to get back into this tour. It's been a pretty dominant tour from a South African point of view and we want to keep it that way. That 3-0 is something that we are focusing on and that is our goal for tomorrow [Sunday]."

As uncompromising as South Africa have been, they will take the opportunity of a dead rubber to blood at least one new player as Hashim Amla has been rested.

"Hashim has been rested so there's a spot up for grabs. In terms of other selection places I am not quite sure who's going to come in," Duminy said, but with Aiden Markram being drafted into the squad, there is a good chance he will get his debut opening with Quinton de Kock today.
