South Africa stands as the sole unbeaten team heading into the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals. The Proteas are set to face New Zealand at Eden Gardens on Wednesday, a team known for its ability to perform under pressure.
The South African squad boasts a formidable top order with Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, and Ryan Rickelton, capable of securing early advantages. Their bowling attack is equally impressive, featuring Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, and Lungi Ngidi, with spinner Keshav Maharaj providing control.
Despite their dominance, South Africa acknowledges the challenges of the knockout stage. New Zealand's batting lineup, led by Finn Allen and Rachin Ravindra, presents a dynamic threat. The Black Caps may be without fast bowler Matt Henry, but their spin attack, featuring Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi, remains a strong component.
