POLOKWANE – Pink has become the colour of choice in terms of luck for the Proteas.
The South African Cricket side dons their pink kit once a year to create awareness for breast cancer, however the pink doesn’t just bring hope it also brings some luck for the home side as they have never lost a match while playing in the color.
After their third exhilarating one day international match against Sri Lanka at the Wanderers Stadium yesterday, the Proteas have extended their win streak in pink, to five.
Back in 2013, the Proteas first went to the wicket in pink against Pakistan and was able to beat the team by a total of 34 runs.
They continued on in pink by beating India later in 2013 with a massive total of 141 runs.
In 2015 it was the West Indies’ turn to face off against the pink attack and the home side proved to be too much for them as they also lost with a huge total of 148 runs.
In 2016 England had to face the men in pink, and also lost when the Proteas beat them in a close match by one wicket.
Yesterday’s match saw Sri Lanka defeated by the home side as the Preteas beat them with a total of seven wickets.
While the Proteas continue on with this impressive win streak in pink, some have even joked that they should wear it in the next World Cup to finally bring home the title.
