IN THE high-stakes theatre of World Cups, there is a recurring truth that South Africans have come to understand more intimately than most: structure wins you matches, but individual brilliance wins you trophies.
As the Proteas continue their 2026 T20 World Cup campaign in India and Sri Lanka - having already made a statement with a comprehensive 57-run victory over Canada in their opener on Monday they find themselves with another opportunity to break their white-ball duck.
The South Africans are still trying to shed the “nearly-men” tag that has haunted them since winning the Champions Trophy in 1998, a drought that was only partially eased by their historic World Test Championship triumph at Lord's in June 2025.
