With the T20 World Cup nearing, most of the top teams have announced their squad for the marquee event. Like their counterparts, South Africa have also named a robust side, led by Aiden Markram, for the showpiece event, starting next month.
The South African side looks strong on paper, having outright match-winners throughout the lineup. So, as they prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup, let's see what their strongest playing XI could be for the tournament.
South Africa's Strongest XI For T20 World Cup 2024
Explosive keeper-batter Quinton de Kock will open the batting alongside reliable right-handed batter Reeza Hendricks.
Skipper Aiden Markram will be slotted at number three, followed by the swashbuckling Heinrich Klaasen, who can change the course of the game through his blistering batting in the middle and slog overs.
Experienced middle-order batter David Miller will spearhead the finishing duties along with Tristan Stubbs, who has been in scintillating form in the IPL 2024.
Promising seam bowler Marco Jansen will be slotted at number seven as he can score crucial runs coming down the order.
The left-arm pacer will lead the Proteas pace battery with Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee. Considering Coetzee's red-hot recent form in the shortest format, the speedster might pip the out-of-form Anrich Nortje for the third seamer's role.
The wily duo of Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will lead the South African spin department.
