Perennial underachievers South Africa head into the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales looking to lift their maiden title at cricket biggest stage. They have had quite a few heartbreaks when it comes to the Cricket World Cups and on several instances, they could not cope up with the big game pressure earning the tag of chokers. In 2019 though, there has not been much talk of the Proteas as the favourites for the cup which could benefit them. They have a good squad and have been in good form in the fifty over format going into the tournament in England. Important wins over Pakistan and Australia and return of key players like Dale Steyn has been a huge positive. For South African fans and supporters, we bring a dedicated schedule timetable of South African National Cricket Team fixtures along with match timings (in IST) and venue details. ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Schedule in PDF: Ticket Prices, Dates, Venue Details & Timetable Available for Download Online.

Faf Du Plessis is known for his calm head in cricket and under his guidance, South Africa have the potential to fulfil a long-cherished dream. Their bowling unit comprising of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Dale Steyn is probably the best in the world and if their batsmen can support them, they can be a frightening outfit. The Proteas play Sri Lanka in a practice game before beginning their campaign against hosts England in London.
