The Proteas have been brilliant as a unit. They are coming fresh off a win against Nepal where they snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat. One positive for the Aiden Markram-led side in this tournament has been that when one department failed, the other stood up on that day to seal a win for the side.

Overall, the batters have been a letdown, particularly Quinton de Kock, but the bowlers have been impressive. Anrich Nortje, who was belted for runs all over the park in IPL, has been in solid form this World Cup. He is the second joint-leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets in four games. 

As far as the batting unit is concerned, then no player has amassed 100 runs in the four games the Proteas have played in this edition. The positive for the USA is that South Africa will play their first game at the Viv Richards Stadium, and the batters have struggled as the highest score at this venue in this World Cup is 153/3 by Scotland.

The United States are still the underdog entering the ' Super 8 ' despite a solid performance in the group stage. The Monank Patel-led side still have several areas where they need to work on going forward. 

Against India, the batting unit tumbled like dominos and scored 110 runs. The batters need to take the onus and spend some time on the pitch. The good news is that skipper Monank Patel is fit and will lead the side against Proteas. 

The bowlers have been terrific, especially Saurabh Netravalkar, who has now made a name for himself for taking wickets early on.
