The T20 World Cup 2024 has kicked off with a thrilling opening encounter between the hosts USA and Canada. Looking at the bigger picture, each group in the World Cup seems extremely competitive but one in particular can be deemed as the Group of Death. This will be Group D which comprises Sri Lanka, South Africa, Bangladesh, Nepal and the Netherlands.
In this article, SportsTiger looks at two teams who have the best chance to go through to the Super 8 stage from Group D in the T20 World Cup 2024.
South Africa
The first team expected to qualify from this group will be the perennial contenders South Africa. The Proteas once again have an incredible squad with players who have dominated at the highest level. Barring the out-of-form Quinton de Kock, all batters like Henrich Klassen, Reeza Hendricks, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs are in magnificent form.
Talking about the bowling attack, the Proteas have some of the best pacers in the world with the trio of Gerald Coetzee, Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen taking the charge. Regarding their slower bowlers, the Proteas have an experienced spin-bowling pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, who dominate in the Caribbean.
