The South African team is in dangerous form at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023, with their opener Quinton de Kock making his ODI swansong special with three centuries so far and their rock-solid middle-order consisting of Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller finishing innings with perfection not seen such a long time, in a typical Proteas fashion, brutal and merciless.

With the pace battery consisting of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee troubling the opposition with their sheer speed, yorkers and accuracy and spinners Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi bamboozling batters, there is very little going wrong going for Proteas at the moment. They did register a loss to the Netherlands in a shocker, but after that they came back with a vengeance, unleashing their wrath on defending champions England and Bangladesh.
