Our chances are slim to win against an in-form SA team. However, batting is our biggest worry. And Younis Khan is too predictable as a captain. Same bowlers used in pretty much the same format in each game of the tournament. However, he will need to innovative. Same approach wont work. Look at NZ how they opened the bowling with N. Mcullum against SL and got Jayasuriya off the first ball sweeping.

Also, we have 5 main bowlers who can bowl out the 20 overs so we dont need Shoaib Malik bowling 1 expensive 11th or 12th over. All too predictable. Stick to the front line bowlers and please, the same squad. No Sohail Tanvir. He is too erractic these days and we cant afford the 11 ball over he bowled. Tight bowling and good batting and excellent fielding will have us compete well against SA. And inshaAllah, hopefully we will win.
