Standard Bank Proteas fast bowler, Kagiso Rabada, says the squad will need to maintain a positive mindset as they prepare for a series-defining performance in the third Momentum One-Day International (ODI) against India at PPC Newlands on Wednesday. The Proteas trail India 2-0 in the six-match series, and need nothing less than a perfect four out of four wins to lift the series trophy next week. The marathon winning streak will need to start at a happy hunting ground in PPC Newlands, a venue where they have only lost five out of 33 matches played. Rabada says that, although the squad has put in two below-par performances, the mood and attitude in the camp remains positive and upbeat. The Proteas have been setback by the injuries to AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock, but will have an earlier than expected look at the potential of the next tier of batsmen in their absence. Multiply Titans wicket-keeper batsman, Heinrich Klaasen, is set to debut behind the stumps, and comes in with confidence and form after finishing as the third highest runs-scorer – 522 runs at an average of 52.20- in the recently concluded Momentum One-Day Cup.
