South Africa take inspiration from Springboks as they hunt Cricket World Cup glory

16.10.2023 - 15:35 thenationalnews.com

South Africa cricket captain Temba Bavuma says his team were deeply inspired by the Springboks' thrilling victory over France as they chase some World Cup glory of their own.

Unlike their counterparts on the South African rugby team, the Proteas have never lifted a World Cup, with only several semi-final disappointments to show for their efforts.

The Springboks took a huge step towards a fourth global title as they eliminated hosts France 29-28 after an enthralling quarter-final tussle in Paris on Sunday night.

That win capped a great week for South African sport with the Proteas having made a flying start to the ODI tournament in India, piling up the runs and cruising to comfortable victories over Sri Lanka and five-time champions Australia.
