CRICKET NEWS - The Standard Bank Proteas will remain focused on what is in their control in their ICC Champions Trophy Group B match against Pakistan at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Wednesday.
Rain has affected most of the matches played this week, and further interruptions are possible for the match on Wednesday despite a clearer forecast.
Proteas captain AB de Villiers says the team has had thorough preparation despite the weather, and go into the match with an emphasis on adapting to what the conditions bring on the day.
“It's something that's outside of our circle,” he said of the rain in Birmingham on Tuesday. “It (rain) is something we can't control, if I want to say it that way. We can only control what's in front of us and that's to play good cricket, to make sure we're prepared, and we've covered all those bases.”
The Proteas beat Pakistan by 67 runs the last time the teams met at Edgbaston during the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, a low-scoring match highlighted by a man-of-the-match performance of 81 from Hashim Amla.
