#3 South Africa
Yet another year when South Africa showed sparks of brilliance, but ended up crumbling like a biscuit dipped in tea
With the promise to set things right after a heartbreaking 2015, the Proteas blew hot and cold in the shortest format throughout 2016. They whitewashed England in the 2-match series, but went down to Australia 2-1 in the very next one.
Currently placed second in the T20I rankings, South Africa won five out of the nine T20s they played, but losses against England and West Indies hurt their chances early in the World T20, and they eventually crashed out after the group stages.
