5 reasons why South Africa failed at the World T20

#3 Bowling at the death:

Each of Wiese, Abbott, Morris and Rabada bled runs heavily in the Group matches

The South African bowling tends to loosen up in the final overs. In the World T20, they leaked bucketful of runs in the death overs, giving the batting team enough leeway to score runs freely.

Even before the World T20 started, the bowling attack gave glimpses of faltering in the final stages of innings, like the time when they failed to defend 204 against Australia in a T20 at the Wanderers.

Against England, the lack of discipline was evident, as they gave as many as 26 extras, and failed to defend a mammoth 229.They ended the Super 10 with 36 wides, by far the most by any team.

Dale Steyn looks a pale shadow of himself, and hasn't been able to make the white ball talk the way he used to. He got hit for 35 runs in two overs, and was dropped for the next match. Each of Wiese, Abbott, Morris and Rabada bled runs heavily in the Group matches.
