'Toss will be key'

South Africa's bowling coach Charl Langeveldt must have been a happy man on Sunday. His bowlers had outdone the Bangladeshi batsmen on a wicket that not many of the Proteas were used to playing on.

The spinners induced plenty of turn, while the pacers managed to punch in bouncers despite a sticky wicket. Regardless of the thumping victory in the first match though, Langeveldt remained cautious with regards to the second. According to him, the toss could play a vital role in the second T20I as well.

"Yesterday [Sunday] had we batted second we would have struggled as well. In the second innings the wicket deteriorated. I think it depends a lot on the surface of the wicket. And I think tomorrow [Tuesday] will probably be the same. We will see the wicket and take a decision," said Langeveldt when asked if the visitors were planning on bringing changes to their squad.

"If you lose the toss you never know what will happen but I think it was a good start for us on Sunday. We expect the Bangladesh team to come hard at us. And I think we need to uplift our game ten per cent," he added.

Langeveldt, who only recently joined South Africa's coaching panel, described Sunday's victory as a good omen for the T20 World Cup. He hopes that the T20 series here can help him find the perfect combination before the mega event, set to take place in India next year.

"Maybe for the T20 World Cup our skills need to improve. It's not a hundred per cent yet. It's a work in progress. We have got a young attack, so it's nice. We have come here to get the guys experienced with the subcontinent and I hope they can execute their plan in the next game as well," said the South African.
