WATCH: Proteas vs India ODI draw attention
The Momentum ODI PinkDay 2018 which will take place on February 10 at Bidvest Wanderers is sold out.
THE popular Momentum ODI PinkDay 2018 which will take place on February 10 at Bidvest Wanderers is sold out, but will once again promise to be a humdinger of a match.
The national cricket calendar boasts the eighth ODI PinkDay where the Proteas has yet to lose. However, this time around they play against a world class side, India, who will not give up on their quest to win in South Africa.
As before, the Standard Bank Proteas are lending their full support and will pitch up in Pink on match day. The Proteas have yet to be beaten in pink.

“We are always excited to play in pink and this year will be no exception,” said Proteas batsman, AB de Villiers.
“Our team will always be out there to win this match and against India, we will give all that it takes to win.”
As a huge coup this year, Miss South Africa Adè van Heerden has been confirmed as a PinkDay ambassador.
This is in addition to PinkDay’s fashion ambassador, David Tlale, whose association was announced late last year.
Associating fashion and beauty with this popular sports event will add to the panache of PinkDay.
Van Heerden said, “As a young medical doctor I want women, young women specifically, to become comfortable with their breasts.

“Self-examination is not a shameful exercise, but rather the best early detection tool we have.
“PinkDay raises this awareness and I am happy to be an ambassador for this cause.“
Commenting on his involvement, Tlale said, “I have enjoyed hearing about the way South Africans unite for an incredible cause at an event that has an electric atmosphere and fans and supporters dress up to show their support.
“This year I want to call on everyone to #PitchUpInPink and take their self-expression to a whole new dimension and style.”
Cricket South Africa (CSA), Bidvest Wanderers and sponsor Momentum are pulling out all the stops to make sure funds for breast cancer care and awareness are raised, while providing an excellent fan and spectator experience.

This year a new beneficiary has been announced and all funds raised will be going to the Breast Care Clinic at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital.
2018 will mark the launch of Momentum PinkFriday, the day before match day, February 9, which is a call to action for everyone to #PitchUpInPink to show support.
The call to action is clear: whoever you are, wherever you are #PitchUpInPink on the Friday before, or on match day, and donate as much as possible to this worthy cause.
