South Africa

The South African Cricket Team were perhaps the best team in 1992. However, the team has never won the Cricket World Cup trophy.

Strengths: Brilliant batting order, the fittest, the most talented, and one of the best-balanced line-ups in the world.

Key players: Aiden Markram, Kagiso Rabada, Faf du Plessis (one of the shrewdest brains and does not craks under pressure), Imran Tahir, Batting order: Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Hashim Amla, JP Duminy, and David Miller. All-rounders: Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo. Bowling unit: Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Dale Steyn, Imran Tahir, and Tabraiz Shamsi (capable of destroying any lineup)

World Cup 2019 Prediction: Semi-finalists

West Indies

Cricket fans will know that the West Indies has some hope left for this World Cup as some of the ‘major’ West Indian players are expected to be back for the World Cup, and that is going to be a big boost for the team’s performance.

Strengths: Players that can easily play match-winning innings, Chris Gayle as a star player, all-rounders, good bowlers, and potential personnel with high hopes

Key players: Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Darren Bravo in the middle order for the West Indies. Hope and Hetmyer are young players that have made their mark in international cricket. Rovman Powell, Andre Russell (maybe), and Jason Holder could prove to the heavy hitter, and make a big difference. On the other hand, Oshane Thomas, Kemar Roach, Obed McCoy, Devendra Bishoo, and Ashley Nurse are the bowlers that are likely to be picked in the West Indian squad.
