SA won't get close to what Pakistan would've got without the drops and chasing problems are chronic for SA so you can't call that luck.
He really is a 8 in the two longer formats. It should be Linde or Mulder at 7 and him at 8.
I've been on the Linde train ever since he toured here in 2021. Such an obvious pick.

7 Linde
8 Jansen
9 Rabada
10 Maharaj
11 Not Shamsi

That's what SA should do almost always, barring injury management/rotation.

You have to question South Africa's recision to bowl first. Results at Newlands in day/night matches are so heavily stacked in favour of the team batting first that it's foolish not to bat first.

I'd like to see Mulder trialled a bit higher up - 5 perhaps - with one of the better finishers like Klaasen or Miller at 7, personally. I know people think it's a waste to have the better batsmen batting down that low just but I do think it might be the best way to get the most out of everyone's strengths.

Shamsi is a one dimensional cricketer, can't bat or field so has to be world class in bowling to justify his selection which he isn't, don't understand how he keeps getting games in ODI cricket.
