ENG vs SA Dream11 Top Picks

Dawid Malan

Malan has shown good form in the World Cup so far, scoring 186 runs. Malan will be key for England as he is someone who can bind the innings together and keep a collapse at bay. He is very difficult to dislodge if he gets in.

Joe Root

Joe Root has also been in good form, scoring two fifties in World Cup 2023. He has 170 runs to his name. Root like Malan can also play throughout the innings. While other players will be looking to go berserk, Root will play low risk cricket and rotate strike. He can up the ante anytime he wants so he will be a key player.

Mark Wood

Mark Wood needs to come good for England. He can rattle a team with his searing pace and England need him to be at his best if they are get through the strong Proteas team

Quiton De Kock

De Kock has been in great form, scoring two hundreds in the first two matches. De Kock has played a lot of cricket at this ground for Mumbai Indians and the experience will come in very handy for him.

Aiden Markram

Markram has also shown good form, scoring a century and a fifty in first two games. Also, Markram can chip in with crucial overs so he is an important player of the South Africa team.
