The Standard Bank Proteas have the opportunity to cement their place in history if they come out on top in the second KFC T20 International against Bangladesh at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on Sunday. Victory will give the Proteas their third consecutive series whitewash across the formats this tour, the first South African team to achieve this milestone against touring opposition. The match is Potchefstroom’s first T20 International, and also stands as South Africa’s 100th T20 International since the inception of the format in 2005. There have been 73 caps since the Proteas’ first match against New Zealand at Bidvest Wanderers Stadium in 2005, with JP Duminy leading the run-scoring list with 1696 runs and Dale Steyn topping the wickets table with 58. Proteas batsman, Farhaan Behardien, says the squad is adapting to the new ideas and thinking from coach, Ottis Gibson, and will be approaching the match with the same intent and freedom from the opening match on Thursday. Behardien’s unbeaten 36 off 17 balls in the 20-run victory was an exemplary finishing effort, and has sparked confidence in his approach and mindset ahead of the series decider.
