South Africa made it to the final, having beaten Sri Lanka and Pakistan all at home, whereas India was ousted after losing two series in a row against New Zealand and Australia. Indian fans were quite crushed and there were several changes in coaches and players in the aftermath.
“This is a huge moment for South African cricket,” said de Villiers to Star Sports. “The whole country will support our team, and I hope we can pull it off.” He also spoke about his excitement, feeling that South Africa had the potential to pull off an upset against Australia, even though they were the favorites.
De Villiers went on to say that the Australians are very well-experienced and well-prepared, making things rather difficult for South Africa. “It won’t be easy, but I’m confident because we have a lot of players in form who are eager to prove themselves.”
