Having won a T20 International series for the first time in more than two years, Proteas captain Temba Bavuma hopes the SA team can carry that momentum into their three-match ODI series against Pakistan starting in Paarl today (2pm).
The Proteas have played only three ODI series since they reached the semifinals at last year's fifty-over World Cup. They lost ODI campaigns against India and Afghanistan, before bouncing back with a 2-1 win over minnows Ireland in Abu Dhabi in October.
Less than two months out from the ICC Champions Trophy tournament, Bavuma feels it is crucial for them to build on the T20 series victory over Pakistan last week by putting up another fight in the fifty-over series.
