There are few doubts about the participation of Quinton de Kock for the 1st game. Other than him, South Africa will have a stiff task of selecting one all rounder between Wiaan Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo.
SA Key Players
- Rassie van der Dussen - Dussen has been a consistent performer for South Africa and averages 70 in the 21 ODIs he has played. He is a natural striker of the ball and likes the ball to come on to the bat. He’ll enjoy batting on the Centurion wicket.
- Janneman Malan - He has done well for South Africa and would want to start the series with a big knock
- Kagiso Rabada - Even though his recent performances have not been that great, one can never neglect his skills. Before the IPL, Rabada would like to get back some confidence.

SA vs PAK Dream11 Prediction
-
Wicket-keeper
Mohammed Rizwan at 9.5 will be our first choice keeper. He has been in scintillating form of late and is expected to start well.
-
Batsmen
Babar Azam at 10, Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram at 9.0, Rasssie Van Der Dussen at 8.5 will be our batsmen. Babar is a world class batsman while Rassie van Der Dussen has performed well for South Africa in ODIs. Bavuma and Markram are also top quality batsmen.
-
All-rounders
Shadab Khan at 9.5 and Faheem Ashraf at 9.0 will add depth to our squad. Both have done well for Pakistan in recent times.
-
Bowlers
Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada at 9.0, Haris Rauf at 8.5 and Usman Qadir at 8.5 will complete our team. Nortje and Rabada will be able to extract extra bounce from this pitch which makes them very dangerous. Haris Rauf has been bowling well for Pakistan while Qadir will be the trump to Pakistan as the hosts haven't fared well against the leg spinners.
-
Captain/Vice-captain
Rassie van Der Dussen will be our skipper while Shadab Khan can be backed as his deputy.
SA vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, Babar Azam, Rassie van Der Dussen(C)
All Rounder:Shadab Khan(VC), Faheem Ashraf
Wicket Keeper:Mohammed Rizwan
Bowler:Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Usman Qadir, Haris Rauf
