"Anything can happen on the day in one-day cricket, that's a fact, and especially with a tournament like the ICC Champions Trophy. "When the world's top eight teams are competing for one trophy, it's going to be very competitive.

"I think we can expect to see more of what we have been seeing over the last year from South Africa in this tournament - a brave brand of cricket," he added.
