Blue Label Proteas\u2019 T20 captain, Faf du Plessis, praised the character and determination<\/a> that his side showed to win their first limited-overs series in Sri Lanka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Proteas<\/a> hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20 International series, and are aiming to finish off the challenging tour on a positive on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were down and out after we were outplayed in the ODI\u2019s,\u201d a delighted Du Plessis said. \u201cTo come back like this shows huge character and heart, I\u2019m proud of the way the guys have performed in this series so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest improvement for me since the ODI\u2019s has been the clear plans and execution from the bowlers,\u201d Du Plessis added. \u201cOur death bowling in the last two games has been brilliant and we have been effective upfront as well; I\u2019m pleased with the contributions from the bowlers at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Du Plessis<\/a> says the dead-rubber on Tuesday will be an opportunity to try new combinations, particularly looking ahead to the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh, which will be in similar conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an option to try out some new combinations in the next match, especially considering that we are eight games away from the Word Cup,\u201d Du Plessis explained. \u201cWe know what the current combinations are capable of, so the series win has given us some space to try out one or two tweaks.\u201d<\/p>\n
