South Africa skipper Graeme Smith believes his team is in good form and the players are in ideal shape to challenge the world for the ICC World T20 title. The Proteans begin their campaign against Scotland at The Oval on June 7. Smith said that the side would relish lifting the trophy at Lord's on June 21.

 

"We have had a wonderful past 12 months which has included winning away Test series in both England and Australia and winning home and away ODI series against Australia to gain top spot in the Reliance Mobile ICC world rankings".
