Proteas coach Rob Walter has suggested he is unlikely to ring the changes when they face Netherlands in their third Cricket World Cup clash in Dharamshala on Tuesday.
South Africa have been rampant at the tournament so far, beating both Sri Lanka and Australia by margins of 100-plus runs in their opening two clashes.
While Netherlands is a slightly less formidable opponent, Walter is reluctant to give opportunities to players that have yet to feature at the World Cup, such as Reeza Hendricks, Andile Phehlukwayo, or Lizaad Williams.
"To be dead honest, [it's] unlikely. I suppose the beauty of the start of our campaign is that we've had nice breaks in between each fixture, so we've had great opportunity to recover well, train well, and prep well," Walter said the prospect of rotation.
"So, from our point of view, it's just about playing whatever we feel is the strongest team on the day, if obviously some injuries get thrown our way later on in the tournament, or where we do play the three games in eight days, we might have a conversation there.
"But, for now, it's full steam ahead. Everyone is training particularly well, the guys have put in the hard yards, going back into the Winter already, and since we've been here they've worked extremely hard.
"I think it's nice to sit here and go, 'There's no one in this squad who I don't think is ready to compete if they get tapped on the shoulder.'"
After facing the Netherlands, whom they brushed aside to secure automatic qualification to the World Cup back in March, the Proteas will have tough clashes against England (21 Oct), Bangladesh (24 Oct), Pakistan (27 Oct), New Zealand (1 Nov), and hosts India (5 Nov).
