"Proteas' Playoff Prowess: Jansen's Cool Confidence Ahead of Champions Trophy Semis"

South Africa's Marco Jansen, fresh from a Player of the Match performance against England, has revealed the team's mindset heading into the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinals. After topping Group B, Jansen emphasized continuity in their approach: "I wouldn't say the mindset changes, it's just the occasion that's probably a bit more hyped up." The pacer, who took 3/39 against England, stressed the importance of executing their usual processes "extraordinarily well" in the knockout stage. South Africa awaits the outcome of the India-New Zealand match to determine their semifinal opponent, with the Proteas aiming to overcome their historical struggles in ICC tournament knockouts.
