Captain Pick for SA vs ENG Dream11 Team
Option 1: D Malan
D Malan is a slow starter but he is known to play big innings and he is in great form. In the last match he scored a match-winning knock of 55 runs from 40 balls and was the man of the match. On this track, he will be a very useful batsman and should be expected to play another big inning. He averages 47.25 in T20I cricket and has scored 756 runs in 18 innings. Importantly he has scored 8 fifties and 1 hundred in these 18 games.
Option 2: Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes hasn’t been at his best in this series so far yet he has scored 53 runs in 2 games. He is also a very valuable bowler and can bowl the tough overs which offers him the chance to claim wickets. He has 2668 runs in 123 T20 innings at an average of 25.90 and he has also claimed 70 wickets in 94 innings at a strike-rate of 23.4.
Vice-Captain Choice:
Option 1: E Morgan
E Morgan hasn’t set the stage on fire in the T20I series so far but has scored valuable runs in both games. He scored 12 runs in the first game and then made another 26* runs to steer the team home in the second game. Morgan has an impressive average of 30.37 in T20 cricket and he has a strike-rate of 138.98. He has experience of 94 T20Is and has scored 14 fifties.
Option 2: A Rashid
A Rashid will be the X factor in this game as the slow wicket is very useful for his style of bowling. As the ball will grip off the surface, Rashid will become even more dangerous. He has claimed 2 wickets in the last game and gave away only 23 runs.
Top 5 Players For SA vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction:
