Reeza Hendricks scored 57 and 53 in the first two T20Is between England and South Africa. The decider and third match will take place in Southampton on Sunday.
South Africa batter Reeza Hendricks said that there is a lot of competition within Proteas and he is grateful for the opportunities at his disposal.
South Africa and England are levelled at 1-1 in the three-match T20I series after the Proteas won the opening game by 41 runs and England took the second match with a 58-run triumph. The sides will clash in the decider at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Sunday.
In-form Hendricks gave strong contributions in both the T20Is, scoring 57 off 33 and 53 off 32 for South Africa. With several batters in sublime form and raising hands for places in the line-up for the T20 World Cup in October, Hendricks said that he will continue to take his chances.
"It's obviously nice to contribute," Hendricks said. "There's a lot of competition within the team at present, which is also a good thing as well. So I'm happy I got the opportunity and managed to put in two good performances.
"Where that leaves me, I'm not sure, but whatever opportunity I get I'll try to do the best as I can. Then whatever happens from there selection wise and where it puts me, it's up to the team, the coaches and the selectors as to where they see me fit."
Hendricks added that he wants to build on his performances and help South Africa finish the T20Is against England strongly.
"It was disappointing (the performance) after the first game and the talk was about bouncing back from that, which we managed to do.
