#8 South Africa

The Proteas have their wrist spin options sorted out with the likes of Imran Tahir and the chinaman Tabraiz Shamsi. Tahir has been the much more experienced campaigner and has some few tricks up his sleeves. He has also been in a terrific form by picking up a hat-trick in and a five-wicket haul against Zimbabwe recently.
Shamsi, on the other hand, is a chinaman bowler who has a good experience of playing the franchise cricket worldwide and has also been a regular member of the South African side now. His inconsistency in getting wickets has been the main problem and would like to resolve it before the tournament.
It will come down to these two wrist-spinners if the Proteas have to turn around their fortunes this time.
