Strongest points:

The presence of all-rounders like Marco Jansen, Liam Dawson and Roelof van der Merwe offers flexibility in both the batting and bowling departments. Aiden Markram brings experience and composure as a leader, along with his ability to contribute with both bat and ball. With Jansen, Gleeson, Simelane and Baartman, the team has a complete attacking rhythm in all phases.

Weakest points:

They only have one LHB in the top seven. Beyond frontline pacers (Jansen, Gleeson, Simelane, Baartman), the bench lacks experienced backup seamers.
