Cape Cobras wicket-keeper Dane Vilas said his team is sure of seeing off T&T's spin attack on the hard MA Chidambaram strip.
"Luckily, we are playing them at the finish, so they're not a totally unknown entity," Vilas said at the pre-match media meeting on Monday.
"We've done some work on them; they bowled brilliantly next to Chennai Super Kings. I think the key to the game alongside Chennai was that they took the pace off the ball quite a lot. A lot of bowlers that we've faced have taken the pace off, using dissimilar variations. So hopefully, we've got that enclosed," he said.
Asked to name one area the team needs to recover upon, he said, "It's essentially a quarter-final for us, we have to win this game. We had a long pre-season. One key area we can improve on is almost certainly our fielding. I think we have not been the field side we can be in this event "
Vilas said he is sure about the South African side's own spin attack, in spite of it going for runs in the rain-hit match next to Mumbai Indians in Bangalore, when the latter amassed 176/6 in 20 overs.
"We're very sure. The Chennai and Bangalore pitches are entirely different. The one in Chennai help spin, while the Bangalore one was a lot flatter and a better pitch to bat on.
"But we've played three games here and JP (Duminy) bowled a brilliant spell next to Chennai, taking four wickets next to huge players of spin and we've also got Robin Peterson," he said.
Asked if china-man bowler, Michael Rippon, would obtain a look in next to Chennai on a spin-friendly pitch on Tuesday, Vilas said, "I think we'll keep the same team, we're bowling well as a unit."
"(But) guys like Andrew Puttick and Rippon are forever ready (if picked)."
