The Proteas have yet to win an ODI series of any sort since the resumption of international career post the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020.
This includes defeats to Pakistan (home), Sri Lanka (away) and a drawn series against Ireland (away).
This has left the Proteas in ninth position on the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League standings after 10 matches and in grave danger of having to qualify for the next Cricket World Cup in India next year.
