Top picks for SA vs AUS Dream11 Prediction

SA:

Quinton De Kock:
Newly elected skipper Quinton De Kock will lead the team from the front and is a brilliant batsman. He scored 107, 11, 69  31, 65, 35, 2 and 70 runs in his last eight international appearances.

Faf Du Plessis:
Ex-skipper Faf Du Plessis is in poor form but still has a lot of skill and potential. He will be eager to perform well in this series to prepare for the upcoming T20I World Cup. Faf scored 24 and 15 runs in the two T20I’s.

Rassie Van Der Dussen:
He has performed consistently for Proteas and can play as per the situation of the match. Dussen scored 37 runs in the last game and can be a good pick in AUS vs SA Dream11 team.

Lungi Ngidi:
Pacer Ngidi is a wicket-taking pacer and proved it in the T20I series against England taking eight scalps in three matches. He also struck thrice in the last game.

Kagiso Rabada:
Pacer Rabada has a forgettable return leaking runs at 15 runs per over in the first T20I but bowled well in the second match taking one scalp.

Andile Phehlukwayo:
Andile is a good all-rounder and can be handy in both the departments. He took five scalps in three T20I’s against England and took one scalp in the first T20I. He may play tomorrow.

Dale Steyn:
He has been one of the world’s most fearsome pacers at his time and still has the potential to perform well for South Africa cricket. His form in MSL and BBL was good and can be a match-winner on his day. He struck twice in the first match and has good chances to play tomorrow.

Tabraiz Shamsi:
Spinner Shamsi is a wicket-taking but inconsistent bowler. He took two wicket-haul in the first match and is looking in good form presently.

AUS:

David Warner: He is in record-breaking form in this format and performs consistently. In the last match, He remained unbeaten at 67* runs but could not win the game for his team.

Aaron Finch: Skipper Finch is a destructive batsman and can change the course of match single-handedly. He scored 42 runs in the first match in just 27 balls.

Steve Smith: His recent form is brilliant and can play as per the situation of the match. Smith scored 45 and 29 runs in the two T20I’s.

Mitch Starc: Fiery pacer Starc is a wicket-taking option in limited-overs cricket and has been doing it for the past few years. He will be a must-pick in your AUS vs SA Dream11 team and took one scalp in the first T20I.

Pat Cummins: He is a consistent performer in every format and is in good form from the past two years. He will spearhead the Australian pace attack and is also a reliable option with the bat if required. Cummins has taken three scalps till now in two matches.

Adam Zampa: Leggie Zampa is a wicket-taking spinner and was at his best in recent BBL. He can trouble batsmen with his witty spin and struck twice in the first T20I.

Kane Richardson: He is a lethal pace bowler and has a good skill set to perform in the T20I format. Kane struck twice in the last match and can be a good budget pick compared to Starc and Cummins.

Ashton Agar: He is a talented spin all-rounder but is unlikely to get a chance to bat because of strong top-order. However, He weaved his magic in the first match, taking five wicket-haul.
