My vote goes to South Africa. I feel a bit sorry for them that they have been the best or close to the best team in many tourneys but never sealed the deal. It would be nice to see them break through this time (am not counting WTC).

Has to be SA. They are a complete team and yesterday they showed why pre tournament they were so highly rated.

Saffers may look a million bucks here and freeze the minute they go to SF. Always been the case for the RSA team. Ability-wise, no question, now they also have world-class spinners, which was a weakness for them in 90s and 00s. 

 

Last time they got lucky facing Afghans in SF on a pacy track. Afghans too were emotionally exhausted after beating Aussies just a couple of days before.

The won the WTC and came very close in WT20 (difference of inches). So maybe they are turning tough.

Tbh they were never chokers in tests. Some of their epic 4th innings chases and back against the wall rearguards haven't been matched by famed Aus and Ind batting lineups. 

 

That format also gives you enough time to mount a comeback or multiple comebacks (as we saw in WTC F), or calm yourself down. No such room the shorter the format goes, you will have to make good intuitive decisions which they have often failed to do. T20/ODI is more unforgiving where if you don't seize the monent, you can become dead lost.
