For a change, South Africa will not be among the favorites to win an ICC tournament. And the reason for this is the low key performance of the side in the last year. The team's batting looks extremely thin with only skipper Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock being among the runs.

Hashim Amla, who has been out of form for quite some time, has been included in the World Cup squad. Rassie van Dussen has had a good start to his international career but is still untested in away conditions. JP Duminy has made a comeback after a long injury layoff and David Miller has been on and off.

However, the Proteas have a potent pace attack that can destroy any batting line-up in the world and this will be the team's biggest strength in the World Cup.

Faf du Plessis (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, Hashim Amla, Jean-Paul Duminy, Lungi Ngidi, Rassie van der Dussen, Andile Phehlukwayo, Imran Tahir, Dwaine Pretorius, Anrich Nortje, Dale Steyn, Tabraiz Shamsi
