South Africa will start as favorites to win the series.
Players to look out for:
1. Lhuan-dre Pretorius – Based on his current from not just in domestic circuit but also in the recently concluded Test Series against Zimbabwe, Pretorius should be the first choice opener for South Africa. If he gets going in the series, South Africa will simply be unstoppable.
