SA vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction Semi Final Cricket World Cup 2023

SA vs AUS Match Preview

South Africa and Australia will face-off for a berth in World Cup final. South Africa have never made it to the final but the team has played good cricket so far. They did suffer and upset against Netherlands and a thrashing against India but have been much disciplined in other games. They even beat Australia in the group stage.

Australia have been brilliant too, winning seven out of nine games in the group stage. Australia lost the first two games but bounced back to win the following seven. Australia have plenty of experience in knockout matches and it would give them a slight advantage against South Africa.

Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.

There was some rain predicted in Bengaluru during the game but the forecast has changed drastically. It will now be a clear day with no chances of rain. Dew, however, will be a factor to consider at the toss.

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

SA vs AUS Dream11 Top Picks

Quinton de Kock

De Kock will be a key for South Africa. The southpaw has been in top form in the World Cup 2023, scoring 591 runs, with four centuries to his name. De Kock would love to register one more hundred in the World Cup and lead SA into the final.

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram has also played well, scoring 396 runs for his team. On a small ground like Chinnaswamy, Markram can be brutal as even mishits are expected to clear the ropes in Bengaluru.

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh is fresh from a 177 against Bangladesh. Marsh has blown hot and cold in the tournament but the innings would have given him a lot of confidence. When Marsh last played in Bengaluru, he scored 121 against Pakistan.

Steve Smith

Steve Smith has had a poor tournament by his standards but given South Africa’s attack and stroke-makers in the Australian lineup, he becomes a key. Smith might well play his best knock of World Cup 2023 against South Africa.

Adam Zampa

Zampa has enjoyed a stellar season. The Aussie pacers have been taken for cleaners in the World Cup, with Cummins and Starc, looking ineffective but Zampa has helped Australia bounce back in almost every game. The spinner has taken 22 wickets in 9 matches.
