6) South Africa
South Africa, which often ranks amongst the top three attacks at the World Cup, enters the 2023 tournament with a number of injury and performance-related concerns. Anrich Nortje’s absence because of a lower-back ailment was a major setback for the Proteas speed assault. Kagiso Rabada’s poor form also is a primary concern for the team.
The weakened and untested line-up of South Africa will need to equal some of its great bowlers from before in order to end their World Cup drought. Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will be the main spin leaders for this bowling attack.
