The match against the hosts is effectively a semifinal, with the winner to play against Australia in the final on Sunday, June 26.
“The mood has been great,” bowling coach Charl Langeveldt said in Barbados on Wednesday. “The two days off have given us a breather, conditions are warm here so if you practice every day you will get dehydrated and your energy will be low. Our big thing is to keep the energy levels high and to manage the players well.
“From a bowling point of view we are confident as an attack, especially the seamers,” he said. “We have had the odd blip with the no-balls but that’s cricket, you are going to get that. The wides and no-balls have been a big improvement from the T20 World Cup where we were sloppy.”
Langeveldt, who took over from Allan Donald as bowling coach in 2015, says the ‘versatile’ bowling attack has worked tirelessly on the execution of their skills, but remains a ‘work in progress’ as they continue to fine-tune their various game-plans and skills sets.
