Veteran quick Dale Steyn missed the first two matches with a shoulder injury and South Africa were duly thumped by hosts England in their tournament opener before losing to unfancied Bangladesh at the Oval on Sunday. They suffered another serious setback against Bangladesh when pace bowler Lungi Ngidi went off with a hamstring injury early on and Du Plessis said South Africa would only cope if they changed tactics in their remaining games. “Our plan in both the England game and (the Bangladesh) game was to try and make sure we target them with aggressive bowling. “Plan A is gone because Plan A was those main bowlers playing together and they haven’t played a game together on this tour. “We’re playing a strong team in India, and as a team, we know we’re not good enough at the moment and we have to turn it around.”
