It’s a do or die game for us, says South Africa pacer Morris

The Men in Blue have a 3-0 lead in the six-match series and will become the first visiting side to beat the Proteas in ODIs at home since 2013, if it achieves this milestone. 

“It’s do or die for us now. It’s natural pressure. If we lose one more, that’s the series gone,” Morris said on the eve of the match. “... So we’ll be fighting for every single ball, every single run out there. So a lot of pressure but what’s cricket without pressure? It’s boring.” 

South Africa woefully struggled to get its act right in the matches gone by. 

“Look at the moment, we are all under pressure. We are 3-0 down and what more pressure do you need. Every single guy in the team is feeling pressure. We know we’ve under performed, and we know the way we’ve lost hasn’t been good. I think we are all dying to put on a good performance to show that we can really play this game and what we are capable of,” he added. 

South Africa has had a huge boost ahead of this fourth ODI with star batsman AB de Viliers returning to the fold.
