South Africa, like in all the formats have also been a formidable side in T20 cricket, however, has a history of falling short in the ICC global tournaments. Their best was being semi-finalists in the 2009 and 2014 editions.

In 2009, under Graeme Smith, they had run through all the sides quite comfortably and looked all set to win the title until losing to the eventual champions Pakistan marginally.

In AB de Villiers, they had found the most innovative batsmen in T20 cricket and in Dale Steyn they had found one of the best death bowlers, and now finding trusted lieutenants in Kagiso Rabada and Chris Morris.

We take a look at the best T20 XI for South Africa:-
