World T20 2016: South Africa Player Ratings

It was on the back of “one or two mistakes” against England and West Indies that South Africa’s World T20 campaign turned sour, said Faf du Plessis after his team had secured victory over Sri Lanka in a dead rubber in Delhi. South Africa failed to defend 229 against England, then scored only 122 for 8 against West Indies, despite having come to the World T20 as one of the favourites. The Proteas finished third in Group 1, ahead of Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, thereby being knocked out of the competition. Here are the South African player ratings for their performances throughout the World T20.

Hashim Amla – 7/10:

The classy right-hander made 58 off just 31 balls in the team’s opening encounter against England and looked in sublime touch. He hammered 7 fours and 3 sixes to give his team a flying start in a high-scoring thriller. He was unfortunate to be run out for 1 in a crucial encounter against the Windies. He made 5 against the Afghans, however, showed his elegance again in a knock of 56 off 52 balls against Sri Lanka.
