COLOMBO (Reuters) - Switching to spinners in the power play will not be a bad gameplan against Australia on a turning wicket, South Africa captain A.B. de Villiers said ahead of their World Twenty20 Super Eight clash on Sunday.
South Africa are in a must-win situation to keep their hopes for a semi-final berth alive after they lost a hard-fought game to Pakistan by two wickets on Friday.
Left arm spinner Robin Peterson struck with two wickets when de Villiers brought him on in the fourth over of the match against Pakistan.
"It worked really well for us and it's definitely a different approach and we haven't been doing it in the past," de Villiers told reporters ahead of the Colombo match.
"It's a very positive thing for us to bowl spinners in the first six overs and then we have seen the results come through like that.
"It is something to look at specially on this kind of wickets if it's turning a bit. Against the Australians, it's not a bad game plan."
However, de Villiers still hopes his fast bowlers can also deliver with wickets.
"We won't forget our pacemen who are on top of the world. Still I hope they will come back and take wickets against the Australians," he said. ? Continued...
