Graeme Smith praised South Africa's performance after defeat in T20 World Cup, said this

According to the SA20 League Commissioner and former South African cricketer Graeme Smith, South Africa has done well in the T20 World Cup. Satisfactory progress is seen by Graeme Smith in South African cricket from local to international level. The African team lost out on the missed trophy as India defeated it in the final with just a difference of seven runs in the T20 World Cup 2024.

He, however, praised the team's performance during the tournament and congratulated them. "We are proud of what the team has achieved at the ICC T20 World Cup," Smith said. For instance, Smith was overjoyed when Otniel Bartman, the highest wicket-taker in SA20 history, got installed into the debutant role in a global showpiece in an outstanding performance. The 43-year-old feels directly from the results of the Proteas in the US and the Caribbean feed into the objectives of the SA20.

"People can feel good about cricket in the country again. Those are things that are close to our hearts. Together with Cricket South Africa, we remain committed to providing opportunities and platforms for our players to do better and inspire the next generation of cricket talent in South Africa," Smith said.
