ENG vs SA 1st ODI Dream11 Team Prediction

ENG vs SA Match Preview

England suffered a crushing defeat to India in the recently concluded limited overs series. They lost the T20I series 2-1 before succumbing to defeat in the ODI series as well with the same margin. The series loss was a massive dent to their reputation as World Champions. They will be keen to make a statement against South Africa.

Meanwhile, South Africa come into the series after losing to Bangladesh at home in the previous ODI series. They were outplayed by the Bangladesh tigers and lost the series 2-1. South Africa has a great bowling attack but their batting can be inconsistent at times. If the batters fire in the coming series, they will have a great chance of winning the series.

ENG vs SA Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

Jos Buttler

Buttler was the only England batter who looked in good rhythm against India. Even though he didn't play a big inning, he was very comfortable at the crease. He even scored a half century in the final ODI.

Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock at the top can be destructive with the bat. He has been in some decent form of late in T20Is and will be keen to continue with the momentum in the longer format as well. De Kock is one player who likes to play big innings in the SA team.

Moeen Ali

Another terrific pick for any fantasy team. Moeen is a very underrated cricketer and boasts of match winning skills in both departments of the game. He is very good with the bat and equally potent with the bowl.

Rassie van der Dussen

Rassie van der Dussen is a crucial member of the SA middle order. If early wickets fell, he is someone who can hang in there and prevent the collapse. He can switch gears according to the situation thus is a very dangerous player to have.

Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid is back in the England team. He has been one of England's match winners with the ball and England desperately missed him in the ODI series against India. SA batters have had issues with spin thus Rashid is a good player to have.
