Proteas 'going for the kill' in second England ODI – Anrich Nortje ... (The South African)

Anrich Nortje says the Proteas want to go for "the win and the kill" when they face England in the second ODI at Old Trafford on Friday.

We’re aware of it and want to go for the win and for the kill. They’re going to come hard at us because they also want to draw level in the series. I have to be honest and we know the team that we’re playing against has nothing to lose. “We will just try to adapt and to be smart. “Hopefully we can get a little bit more bounce… That’s their own sort of strategy and how they want to play.

All round England swats off-colour Proteas to take ODI series to ... (News24)

England roared back into the series with a game to play after a barnstorming win against South Africa at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Keshav Maharaj (1), Anrich Nortje (6) and Lungi Ngidi (0) didn't over much by way of resistance in the face of Adil Rashid's leg-spin (3/29(, but Tabraiz Shamsi (5*)ensured SA equalled the 83 they made in Nottingham in 2008. If there was a flicker of recovery, it died in the ninth over when Curran castled David Miller (12) to leave SA firmly in the mire at 27/5. Janneman Malan (0) was the first to fall when he tamely chipped Topley to Sam Curran (1/5) at mid-on in the second ball of the third over.
