Ireland captain William Porterfield retains full faith that Ireland's bowling attack can shackle South Africa skipper AB de Villiers, despite his record-breaking recent form.
De Villiers blasted an unbeaten 162 from just 66 deliveries against West Indies last time out, hitting one-day international cricket's quickest 150.
That followed a record breaking 31-ball century against the same opposition before the tournament.
However, having seen his attack limit Chris Gayle to a half-paced 36 in their tournament-opening win against the Windies, Porterfield remains full of faith.
"It's no fluke, what he's done. He's done it a couple of times now over the last six to eight weeks," Porterfield said of De Villiers.
"He's been in great nick, but I think you've just got to have your own simple plans and look after your own game.
"They're obviously playing great cricket, they're a great side, so we're going to have to be on the money again. We take each game as and when it comes.
"You've got to be in control of what you are in control of and that is letting the ball go.
"If he plays the way he plays, then so be it. But we'll have our own individual plans for each of them and hopefully we'll see the back of him early."
The South African dressing room has also been agog at their skipper's master blasting in recent months.
"In my opinion, he is a level above most batters," Farhaan Behardien told the media at Canberra's Manuka Oval ahead of Tuesday's Group A game.
"It's overwhelming, it's bewilderment. We're all in awe when we see him bat like that."
Behardien was asked if he thought the Manuka Oval had the potential to again become a nightmare for bowlers in the wake of Chris Gayle smashing a World Cup-record 215 against Zimbabwe on the very same pitch just a week ago.
"It does potentially, but we've still got to stick to our processes. We don't underestimate Ireland at any cost," the right-armer said.
"We have got processes in plan and if the game unfolds the way it should do, and we bat deep and we have wickets in hand toward the back end, I think that's the way we set it up."
However, Behardien was at pains not to place too much expectation on De Villers' next performance.
"He would, and every player in our side would, take a duck as long as our team wins," he said. "Whatever happens tomorrow, I'm sure he'll just be happy with a team win."
