Smith eyes World T20 trophy

South Africa captain Graeme Smith believes his team are in ideal shape to challenge for the World Twenty20 title.

The Proteas are the world's top-rated team in one-day internationals, and have claimed Test series victories on foreign soil against England and Australia in the past year.

Smith said: "One of the boxes we still want to tick is to win a major ICC championship and we have two chances to do that in the ICC World T20 next month and again in the ICC Champions Trophy, which will be held in South Africa at the end of September. I have been very happy with the form our players have shown in the IPL in the run-up to the World T20, and this augurs well for a good performance."
