South Africa for once have no headache for their lower middle order going into a major tournament courtesy the flamboyant Chris Morris. The Titans all-rounder has played a big role in stabilising the Proteas line-up which was struggling to find the right balance post-Jacques Kallis' retirement in terms of getting a player who can be effective both the ball as well as the bat.

Morris proved his value as a big hitter and death bowler in the IPL, playing for the Delhi Daredevils. In the last ODI series between these two sides, in South Africa, Morris played two match-winning knocks with the bat that turned the series on its head. He has improved vastly with his economy and death bowling of late and is expected to partner Rabada up front as well.
