Captain Gerhard Erasmus says the experience of the last T20 World Cup gave them an idea of the skills required at this level.
The speed of the ball is more, the quality of the skills and the percentage of execution that guys are playing at is higher. It's only the start of the tournament and we really need to have our eye on qualifying for the Super 12s, which is the main goal for me."
