#2 Not sharp enough in the field
The crowd are used to seeing South Africa fumble in the field in knockout games and witnessed the same yet again here at The Oval. Despite Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel bowling tight lines up front, the fielders in the circle showed little intent to stop the quick singles.
Miller was guilty of missing a chance to run-out Dhawan in the second over as he misfielded off Phehlukwayo's first ball to concede three while Amla put down Kohli at slips off the same bowler.
Although it was a really tough chance, with just 191 on the board, South Africa had to take blinders to win the game. The fielding, which was top notch against Lanka, let them down yet again, however, in a crunch game.
