Though they are expected to sweep aside their unfancied opposition, Proteas captain Aiden Markram insists the national team are not taking Canada lightly in their opening fixture of the T20 World Cup in Ahmedabad on Monday 3.30pm start.
South Africa have never faced Canada in a T20 match, and the two nations have not met in a cricket game since the Proteas beat the Canadians by 118 runs in an ODI World Cup contest in East London in 2003.
Were not 100 sure what to expect, so that poses a new challenge, Markram said on Sunday.
