ENG vs SA 1st T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

Match Preview

The ODI series between England and South Africa ended in a 1-1 draw. South Africa thrashed England by 62 runs in the first game before the hosts bounced back to win the second game by 118 runs. South Africa were in a good position in the final game, but rain forced the match to be called off.

Both England and South Africa are among the top T20I teams and fans are expecting a cracking T20I series. England lost their last T20I series to India thus they will be keen to bounce back. However, the form of players like Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali will be a concern.

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

David Miller

He is a top T20 batter, and has been in some solid form as well throughout the last few months. He is also the skipper of the side and will be more determined to play a crucial role in the team’s win.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler has been out of form for a while but given his quality, it won’t take too long for him to come back to form. We feel a big knock is somewhere around the corner thus we have picked him in the team.

Dwayne Pretorious

He is a good pick for an all-rounder. He bowls really well and often picks up wickets for his team. He can be used as a floater in the batting and can be sent up to hit a few lusty blows.

Moeen Ali

The ace all-rounder has to be in the T20 team given his skills. He is a very good batter and an even better bowler when it comes to this format of the game.

Tabraiz Shamsi

Shamsi has been one of the best bowlers in T20I cricket for a long time now. His variations and control make him a tough bowler to face. Often, he is the highest wicket-taker for SA in T20I matches.
