South Africa has had an interesting 24 months leading into World Cup 2019 as they had to deal with the retirement of AB de Villiers but Dale Steyn’s return strengthened their pace attack. While the batting seemed to be getting loose in the absence of ABD and Hashim Amla’s form, the skipper Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock scored big runs ahead of the ICC event in England. The Proteas are in the contention to bag the title for the first time like they have been in the past.
