I think it's fair to say, South Africa are under-prepared. They didn't perform with bat or ball in the way we know they're capable. Don't count them being knocked out. The bowling was incredibly loose to Dilshan. If you bowl tight to him he gets himself out. Then when batting they just looked so rusty. They seemed to not have done their homework on the Mendis and Malingas. They need to bounce back quick. It won't happen over night. Considering NZ has played cricket recently it wouldn't surprise me if SA lost.
I think the captaincy was pretty bad from Smith. He took far too long to bowl his spinners, poor bowling changes and whatnot. Can probably also attribute that to not a lot of SA game time recently.
