South Africa:1. South African star batter Aiden Markaram, stated that this time around there would be no mental scarring for his side as in past we have came close to winning trophies in playoffs and didn’t capitalize properly to our strengths but we are extra cautious and prepared this time around.2. South Africa played brilliantly in 2024 T20 World Cup final where they lost final against India after coming quite close to winning that match.3. South Africa played brilliantly in 2025 Championship trophy looking rock solid favorites to win marquee event lost semifinal against New Zealand.4. “This team is bit different, and few of us have been part of those ICC events which didn’t go down well for us and we understand that completely, we have exchanged chats among each other to make sure we bury that past and take some good lessons from it. But there is a huge opportunity for us to prepare ourselves pretty well and do job for our team against defending champions Australia” said Markaram to all reporters/5. South African team looks balanced and under Temba Bavuma they would feel relaxed and eager to do well and lift trophy for Proteas for them to win against Australia they need to capture key moments brilliantly.
