Ricky Ponting gave a big statement

49-year-old Ricky Ponting, while talking to ICC, said that he is very excited about the match between South Africa and USA. He also termed South Africa as a very dangerous team. Ponting said,

“I am very excited to watch the match between USA and South Africa. Before the tournament itself, I had considered South Africa as the favourites to win the title. They have fully prepared themselves for the tournament by achieving great victories over Nepal and Bangladesh.”

Ricky Ponting called SA dangerous

Speaking further, Ricky Ponting said that South Africa is a very dangerous team in the tournament. But at the same time, he also advised to be cautious of USA. He said,

“I think South Africa is a really dangerous team. If their batting works, then this team will become even more dangerous in the future. USA has also worked hard to reach here and they have got the reward for it. If the African team looks even 5 percent weak in this match, then the US team can upset them here.”
