New Delhi, February 18 Having had the advantage of playing three group league games in Ahmedabad, South African pacer Corbin Bosch is confident that the team's strategy will be clearer ahead of their Super Eights match against India in the T20 World Cup.
India and South Africa will face off in their Super Eights match on February 22.
Asked about the advantage of playing in Motera, Bosch said, "We are fortunate enough to have played a few games in Ahmedabad, which has been really beneficial, as now we have two more coming up."
"We have had the opportunity to assess the conditions and develop game plans accordingly. The planning will now focus on individual players rather than the team as a whole," said the son of former Proteas pacer Tertius Bosch.
When asked if there were plans for any particular Indian player, he remained tight-lipped.
"I think their entire batting lineup is quite formidable. So, it will be for all of them. All of their batters. I'm not going to single anyone out."
Bosch, who is often seen as the 'fourth wheel' in the regular pace attack of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, and Marco Jansen, delivered impressive figures of 3/12 against the UAE in favorable conditions at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old admitted that he can sometimes operate more freely when Rabada, Jansen, and Ngidi are around.
"It's a privilege to be part of a team with such incredible fast bowlers. There's still Anrich (Nortje) in the squad. It's a luxury, but it comes with responsibilities. The standards of the entire bowling lineup are really high."
Bosch said that the team benefits from each other's success.
"We support each other well. I think this is the first time we've all played together as a unit, so we're still getting to know how we operate as a team. But we've been doing very well so far, and there's no extra pressure. It's exciting because, as I said, you have the opportunity to watch some of the best fast bowlers in the world."
Bosch also specializes in bowling the death overs between the 17th and 20th, and he considers it a privilege to be in a pressure situation.
"It's definitely not easy. But I think it's a privilege. Pressure is a privilege. It's one of the skills that, if you can master it, it can take you very far. I'm just privileged to be a part of this team, and I'm happy to do whatever I can for the team," he concluded.
