South Africa has always failed to perform at the T20 World Cup

South Africa has never performed exceedingly well in a T20 World Cup; The furthest the country has ever progressed is to the semi-finals of the cup in 2009 and 2014. Pakistan beat them by 7 runs and progressed to lift the cup in that edition of the World Cup. In 2014, they lost to India by 6 wickets; India lost the final to Sri Lanka by 6 wickets.

Temba Bavuma’s side is in ‘Group 1’ of the ‘Super 12’ stage of the tournament; His side will play against Australia, England, Bangladesh, and West Indies. Another team from ‘Group A’ of the competition will also join this group. Despite, being seen as one of the weaker countries in the tournament they have shown phenomenal form; South Africa won both of their warm-up games leading into this tournament. They showcased a dominant performance against Afghanistan by beating them by 41 runs. Additionally, in the second warm-up match, they beat Pakistan by 6 wickets. The win in the match against Pakistan has given the South African’s a lot of hope and excitement as they enter the tournament.
