South Africa are motivated by the desire to prove themselves against Bangladesh, Aiden Markram said on Monday as he called on the team to build on their massive 229-run World Cup victory over England.
Bangladesh have won three of their last four one-day international meetings with South Africa, including a 38-run win at the 2019 World Cup.
"From an intensity level and a standards level, that's something that we're going to try to focus on and trust that if we take care of those sorts of things, hopefully it's enough for us on the day. Markram added that Heinrich Klaasen, who scored a blistering 109 from 67 balls in the win over England, was working hard to be back up to speed after looking spent while batting in hot and humid conditions in Mumbai.
"He pulled up nicely after the game. The body was really sore and he was quite fatigued. But he's been trying to get treatment and rest yesterday and very much so the same today in order to get himself good.
