Fantasy Cricket Tips:
- Kagiso Rabada should be pick as death bowl specalist
- Lungi Ngidi impressed a lot in the last match picking up 2 wickets at an economy rate of just 2 runs an over.
- Ashley Nurse, will be my last pacer in this team. Nurse had a good tri-series a couple of weeks back wherein he consistently picked up wickets in every match and ended up as one of the best bowlers of the tournament.
- Andile Phehlukwayo had an amazing warm-up match against Sri Lanka where he picked up 4 wickets and scored 35 runs in the middle order.
- Andre Russell. Russell is probably in the best form possible especially with the bat. He has been hitting sixes for fun in the IPL and is a brutal, destructive and unbelievable player.
- Quinton de Kock, who did not bat in the first warm-up, is expected to get a go in this one.
- Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla had a good match against Sri Lanka. They both scored 65+ runs and looked to be in top form.
Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Quinton de cock, Hashim amla
Chris Gayle, Andre Russel
