We know what to expect from Amit Mishra, says JP Duminy ahead of World T20 semifinal

Facing Amit Mishra will be tough task for South Africans

Prior to the crucial semi-final match against Team India, South Africa is naturally focussing on India’s biggest strength, spin. In the build up to the big match, South Africa’s JP Duminy has said that facing Indian spinners would be a big challenge.

Duminy said, “Their spinners have bowled exceptionally well. We want to put up a big performance against their spinners. It is a big game. It’s the semi-final of a World Cup and it doesn’t get bigger than this.”

Duminy is playing well and he scored 39 against Sri Lanka and 86 against New Zealand. He also has the experience of playing alongside Mishra in the IPL, while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Though the experience may help, Duminy is not expecting the outing to be a cakewalk for sure.

Duminy stressed on the fact that they have their focus on Mishra and know what to expect from him.

“It’s not only me who has played against him (Mishra) but some of the other guys have also played against him. You kind of know what to expect from Mishra. He has been on top form for India in this tournament and definitely, we are not going to take him lightly. We will certainly do our homework and see to it that our gameplan is in order,” he said.
