With the chokers tag behind, South Africa will arrive in India tomorrow in search of their first ICC World Cup in 13 years but experienced batsman Hashim Amla said there is less pressure and hype around the team this time which might act in their favour in the mega-event.

"In the past the team was loaded with big names and it was frequently the number one in world rankings," Amla told the Afrikaans daily Rapport. "This created huge expectations and placed great pressure on the boys, but that is something we are not experiencing now. This time around there is a lot less fuss being made about us and that is how we prefer it," he said.
