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 quick 31 and 65 in two T20I’s.
Temba Bavuma:
Bavuma is a technically strong batsman and scored 98 runs in the first ODI and 43, 31 runs in the last two matches opening the innings.
Rassie Van Der Dussen:
He has performed consistently for Proteas and can play as per the situation of the match. Dussen scored 31, and 43* runs in the two T20I’s and can be a great choice of captaincy in grand leagues.
Lungi Ngidi:
Pacer Ngidi is a wicket-taking pacer and proved it in his last three matches, taking eight scalps, including three wicket-haul in both 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 but has taken four scalps till now in two T20I’s.
Dwaine Pretorius:
He is a talented all-rounder and made a useful contribution in the last match scoring 25 runs and also took one scalp.
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 bowled an excellent spell taking one scalp in the first T20I. Steyn can play tomorrow.
Beuran Hendricks:
Left-arm fast-medium bowler took 20 wickets in 12 T20Is and struck twice in the first match.
David Miller:
He can be promoted for hard-hitting, but his recent form is poor. Miller scored 21 runs in the last match.

JJ Smuts:
He performs consistently in domestic cricket and is a reliable batsman and economical spinner.
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. He took one scalp each in both the T20I’s and scored 47* also runs yesterday.
Jason Roy:
Flamboyant Opener Roy is in his best form currently and can lay havoc single-handedly. He scored 70 and 40 runs in two T20I’s.

Tom Curran:
He is a wicket-taking pace bowler and handy lower-order batsmen. His recent form is exceedingly well and took two scalps in the last match.
