St Lucia, May 01: South African skipper Graeme Smith feels the first hand knowledge of Indian players that his teammates acquired during the IPL would come in handy when the two sides clash in their Group C match of the Twenty20 World Cup here tomorrow.
“We have played against India a little bit of late and with a lot of our guys involved in the Indian Premier League, we have first hand knowledge of a lot of their players,” said Smith, who has recovered the finger injury he had suffered during the IPL.
“We have got some really good thoughts about playing India. We have had success (against India) in the last tournament and this tournament generally, we have had a lot of success without going all the way.
“I think we have only lost two games since this competition started.
