Proteas return to happy hunting ground

The Standard Bank Proteas return to a happy hunting ground for the second Momentum ODI against Sri Lanka taking place at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on Wednesday. The Proteas have won the last four ODI’s played at the Durban ground - the last being a four-wicket win against Australia last year - and will take some assurance and confidence from their past successes heading into the match.
Proteas opener, Hashim Amla, says the squad is motivated to continue putting in dominant performances against the visitors following the eight-wicket win on Saturday, particularly since Sri Lanka will be their opening opponents at the ICC Champions Trophy in June.
Amla has had a successful start to the year scoring a hundred in his 100th Test match in the third Sunfoil Test against Sri Lanka and top-scoring with 57 in the win on Saturday. He says he is not looking too far ahead despite his current purple patch, and will be taking every match as it comes.
