NEW DELHI: South Africa's Rassie van der Dussen has emphasised the team's unwavering "must-win mindset" in the lead-up to their highly anticipated World Cup semi-final clash against five-time champions Australia. The Proteas secured a crucial victory in their concluding league match against Afghanistan, with Van der Dussen's unbeaten 76 playing a pivotal role in the five-wicket win in Ahmedabad.
South Africa's journey to the semi-finals has seen them claim seven victories in nine matches, with their only losses coming against India and a surprising defeat to the Netherlands. Van der Dussen acknowledged the challenge posed by Australia, stating that despite a convincing 134-run victory over them earlier in the tournament, the semi-final encounter will present a different test.
