South Africa

Hosts South Africa was impressive in the ODI series after failing to put a good show in the tests and will come with a similar momentum in the T20I’s. With the T20I World Cup around the corner, They will hope to cover all the aspects and prepare a strong team combination.

Skipper Quinton De Kock is leading the team from the front and will need to give an excellent start to the team to challenge the mighty England team. They will also be boosted with the return of Dale Steyn after his lethal form in recent T20I leagues and will be the key in the bowling department in the absence of Rabada. A unison effort will be expected from all players tomorrow to defeat England.

England

Team England is one of the best sides in the limited-overs format and has plenty of firepower in their squad to outplay any team. They have performed well throughout the tour and will come to all guns blazing to win the T20I series.

They will welcome their star players Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, and Mark Wood back in the squad who can change the course of the match single-handedly. Joe Denly was in brilliant form in the ODI series while Adil Rashid struck thrice in the last ODI. Skipper Morgan, along with Roy, Bairstow, and Dawid Malan, will be the key in the batting department while Tom Curran, Chris Jordan, and Adil Rashid are expected to take the right amount of wickets.

A hard-fought encounter can be expected between both the teams tomorrow to begin the final leg of the tour.

Top picks for SA vs ENG 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, and 69 runs in the ODI series and will be a must pick in SA vs ENG Dream11 team. 

Rassie Van Der Dussen:
He has performed consistently for Proteas and can play as per the situation of the match. Dussen scored 38* runs in the first ODI and can be a great choice of captaincy in grand leagues.

Reeza Hendricks:
Reeza is a talented performer and will open the innings. His recent form in international cricket is below par and will be eager to put a good show in the T20I’s.

Andile Phehlukwayo:
Andile is a good all-rounder and can be handy in both the departments. He failed miserably in the ODI matches.

Lungi Ngidi:
Pacer Ngidi is a wicket-taking pacer but has recently recovered from injury and was not at his best in the first ODI but struck twice in the third ODI and can be tried in your fantasy teams.

Beuran Hendricks:
Left-arm fast-medium bowler took 18 wickets in 11 T20Is. In the recent ODI series, B Hendricks performs very well and took 4 wickets in 2 completed games.

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 tomorrow.

Tabraiz Shamsi:
Spinner Shamsi is a wicket-taking but inconsistent bowler. However, He took three wicket-haul in the first ODI.

Temba Bavuma:
Bavuma is a technically strong batsman and missed his well-deserved century in the first ODI getting out on 98 runs and will be the key in the middle order. His heroics are not well-known in the T20I format and can be missed for other star players.

ENG:

Ben Stokes:
All-rounder Stokes can be the difference between both sides and is in his best form from the past one year. He will be the best choice of captaincy considering his all-round skills.

Jason Roy:
Flamboyant Opener Roy is in his best form currently and can lay havoc single-handedly. He got a good start in both the ODI’s and can be tried as captain in mini grand leagues.

Jos Buttler:
He is an attacking finisher and can play match-winning knocks for the team. His recent form is not very good and can be avoided in the small league team.

Jonny Bairstow:
He is an attacking opening batsman but is struggling with his form from the last few months. He scored attacking knock of 43 runs from 23 balls in the third ODI and is likely to play at one down tomorrow.

Dawid Malan:
He can open tomorrow and be in brilliant form during the last T20I series against Kiwis.

Tom Curran:
He is a wicket-taking pace bowler and handy lower-order batsmen. His recent form is exceedingly well and will be a must-pick in ENG vs SA Dream11 team.

Chris Jordan:
Right-arm fast-medium bowler took 54 wickets in 43 T20I matches. Chris Jordan is an excellent T20 bowler.

Eoin Morgan:
He is a better player of spin as compared to pace bowling and can fetch you good points if top order collapses. However, He failed in the ODI series.

Adil Rashid:
He took 39 wickets in 40 T20I matches. In the recent ODI series, he performs very well.
