Will SA turn out to be a strong dark horse at T20WC22?

Rohit and Rahul displayed high class batting vs swing bowling in England last year. They struggle only vs left arm pacers who bring the ball in. Shaw will struggle even if Vijay Shankar swings it at 118kph with new bowl. He will get squared up and get into S shape.

 

will? Whats it based on?

 

Shaw didn't play in England. He did play in NZ 2020 and was better than Kohli,Rahane etc that too opening on those grassy pitches.

 

Rohit,Rahul,Kohli have repeatedly left us 10/3 in crunch games.

T20 is a fluke format and dependent too much on toss. So, such predictions as to which team will be the dark horse or white horse are at par with astrology.

[Lone Wolf]

We are facing SA at Optus stadium Perth..  Currently the bounciest & fastest pitch in Australia.  Do the math.  If we go with Boobie Harshal Types...  We will be mutilated so badly.. It won't be funny. 

 

On the other hand if we beat Pak in MCG we may turn them over as well.  If India loses to Pak we are out & if Pak loses to India they are out.

Miller is good too under pressure

Too hit or miss.

 

Look at it this way - teams to beat in G2 are Ind, Pak, & WI.  So if Miller can win 1 game for SA (when he plays well his team tends to win) and a different combination fires to win other 1-2 games, SA could win 2-3 games (+ beat BD & NAM) and be in the knockouts!

they will find a way to choke .. 

[Vickydev]

SA will top the group. It will be between us and Pak to qualify alongside them

[Jay]

Markram

Van der dussen

Qdk 

Miller

Malan pretty good too

 

Nortje

Rabada

 

Pretorious good utility 

Shamsi

 

Very strong t20 side but it just wontnb3 enough. Like I said before. If India picks deserving players and the right combo, India can butcher every team in the competition. 

Also india needs to drop choker bumrah in KO stages along with dead weight kuli. 

 

One fodder fatty is enough in rohit.

 

[Adamant]

They are strong contenders not dark horse. 

 

Very good pace bowling attack :

Nortje 

Rabada

Ngidi

 

Spinners :

Shamsi

Maharaj

Linde

 

Batsman 

 

Qdk

Rob Van Dam

Markram

Brevis ( should definitely be selected) 

Killer Miller

Bavuma

Ind is in SA’s group (check out the OP)

good. I am looking forward to another thrashing being served up to these frauds

[Adamant]

The only hope we have now is Kohli coming back to form. 

 

All others are fakers, not good enough to tie his shoelaces. 

[Singh bling]

They have a captain who is only suitable for test but playing because he is black. A team that do this cannot win WC

[putrevus]

Bavuma is their weaklink but he is their captain.You need to have lot of luck to win world cups with ten players and Aussies did win once with Michael Clarke in 2015.

...Lord bavuma can only bully India.

[zen]

South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Wayne Parnell, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Rillee Rossouw, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs. 

Standby Players: Bjorn Fortuin, Marco Jansen, Andile Phehlukwayo.

[coffee_rules]

When will BCCI announce the squad for ODIs?

[Nikhil_cric]

They would be outright favourites if not for Bavuma being capable of singlehandedly losing them matches. 

 

They have the best, most balanced T20 attack in the world
