He added that the team will have to quickly adapt to the conditions in Abu Dhabi. “We’ll have to quickly assess the conditions in Abu Dhabi and see what we need to do. It’s not going to be an easy game and the heat will be a major factor as well. Hopefully, we can just control our skills and focus on what we need to do. It’s going to be a very good challenge for us and I am really looking forward to it,” said Nortje in a virtual press conference on Friday.
