One of the standout names in South Africa’s World Cup roster is the emerging right-arm pacer, Gerald Coetzee, who made his international debut earlier this year. In just two one-day international appearances, Coetzee has showcased his prowess by claiming five wickets, including a memorable three-wicket haul on his ODI debut.

South Africa’s batting lineup is bolstered by experienced campaigners, including the likes of Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Rassie van der Dussen. Their collective skill and experience promise to add depth to the team’s batting arsenal.

The pace attack will be led by the dynamic Kagiso Rabada, supported by a formidable group of fast bowlers, including Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi, among other talented speedsters. South Africa’s fast-bowling brigade is well-equipped to deliver under various conditions.

Given that the World Cup is hosted in India, the spin department is expected to play a pivotal role. South Africa boasts two outstanding spinners in Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, who possess the skills and adaptability to thrive in subcontinental conditions.

South Africa’s journey in the World Cup begins with a clash against Sri Lanka on October 7th at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In preparation, they have warm-up fixtures scheduled against Afghanistan on September 29th and New Zealand on October 2nd.
