Cape Town (South Africa), Jan.19 (ANI): South Africa's one-day day cricket team skipper A.B. de Villiers has urged the national squad to take their current winning form to New Zealand.

Sports24 further quoted him, as saying: "We took it one game at a time and we played some really good cricket over the last week. I would like to think that we are going to keep playing this type of cricket for the next two games and take it off to New Zealand."

He said: "We showed a lot of maturity, there are a lot of young guys that have come in and they showed a lot of experience and maturity in the way that they have played. I'm proud of the guys, we didn't expect that (3-0) but I'm very happy with the performances."
