![SA on song for World Cup](https://cdn.magzter.com/1605701739/1719615461/articles/9yKsvrJ2P1719623985495/SA-ON-SONG-FOR-WORLD-CUP.jpg)
In their first three matches in New York, the SA team competed in atrocious conditions on drop-in pitches and in their remaining games, they have had to deal with a challenging travel schedule, bouncing around the Caribbean.
Markram, however, said they were accustomed to facing similar challenges as professional athletes, that they needed to put these issues aside and get on with the task at hand.
While better conditions were expected today, with a more predictable wicket, the Proteas will need to find a way to beat the world's top-ranked T20 team, regardless of the pitch.
"We've been doing it for most of our careers. You jump from venue to venue where conditions are quite different, so it's just about adapting, playing the pitch and the game that's in front of you," Markram said.
