Supporters make their intentions clear ahead of the double-header at Newlands © Andrew McGlashan

There is a buzz around South Africa at the moment and as Graeme Smith said in yesterday's press conference "it's great to be part of it." The fans are certainly enjoying every moment of the ICC World Twenty20 and now they get the chance of back-to-back matches at Newlands.

Although South Africa play second, tickets are valid for both games so there was already a steady stream of people queuing up before the gates even opened at 12 pm. The question is, who do you support in a match not involving your own side? For Claus and Theo the answer was simple, and their banner explained all. "We support two teams, SA & any1 playing Aus".

It was a last-minute decision for them to paint the banner - they were knelt down on the pavement completing their artwork - and used a cigarette to burn holds along the edge. When they lifted it up there was an imprint on the tarmac, too. "That's what we were hoping for; we can use it as a template next time."

So Bangladesh will clearly have a few extra supporters. "For sure, there's history there," said Theo, referring to the hate-hate relationship between South African and Australian sports teams.

And the second match. "South Africa will win for sure. But England should at least score more than zero." No idea what he was referring to that time.
