The Proteas start the build-up for the World Cup with five matches against India in Delhi, Cuttack, Vizag, Rajkot and Bengaluru from Thursday, where a number of players will be looking to nail down places. Ahead of these important series, the Sunday Times takes a look at the strong and weak points of this team that will once again be pressured to finally win an international tournament.Captain Temba Bavuma has grown into the leadership role and dished out impressive performances as a crucial member of the top batting order in this format.
Another big plus for SA is the form of middle order batter David Miller who helped the Gujarat Lions to their maiden IPL title with a solid contribution of 481 runs from 16 matches. The top and middle order of Van der Dussen, Markram, Bavuma and Miller has often flattered to deceive with major collapses and this is another area of serious concern.
