Important Picks For Your Fantasy Team (Top Picks):

1. Rohit Sharma: Indian captain is one of best T20 batter. Recently, his consistency has dropped down abruptly because of showing aggressive intent in the first 6 over of powerplays. He will be good pick in your dream11 team, and if you are facing credit issue in this clash of star players then you can also think of dropping him from your team as well.
2. Surya Kumar Yadav: He is the most skill full batter of Indian team of this batter thus will be a must have pick in your fantasy team. He has scored total of 926 runs in 31 T20I matches with an outstanding average of 37.
3. Jasprit Bumrah: He is the most important asset of this Indian side. It looks like without him, this Indian team is not going to win any must win match. He will always bowl in crunch situation. Indian pacer has all the ability to exploit pitch condition to his advantage. He can start the bowling attack along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and will bowl in death as well where he can use cutters and yorker up to greater extent.
4. Virat Kohli: It seems that India’s number 3 batter has got his batting mojo back and is playing with same consistency and maturity as he used to play earlier. In the previous match against Australia, he has played an extra-ordinary inning of 68 runs and helped Indian side in winning the series. He will be a good pick in you fantasy team
5. Axar Patel: Indian all – rounder has grabbed his opportunity with both hands and has performed exceptionally well in the previous series against Australia. Although, he hasn’t got enough chance to bat but he was impressive with his bowling. He is looking in good bowling form and thus a good choice for your dream11 team.

Trump Card Pick: Will be riskier choice: Rotate these players in GL, You can consider them in your small leagues but their will be always a risk factor with them).

1. Yuzvendra Chahal:
2. Arshdeep Singh
3. Harshal Patel
4. KL Rahul

South Africa Team Preview:

They are a good t20 team and currently in very good form. Their captain, Temba Bavuma is back and it will be interesting to see his batting position as his replacement, Reeza Hendricks was in red hot form in the last 2 series. Their pace attack is in very good form and they will be the key for the team.

Probable 11:

1. Q De Kock: LHB
2. Temba Bavuma: RHB
3. R Rossouw:LHB//Reeza Hendricks: RHB
4. Aiden Markram: RHB+RAO
5. D Miller: LHB:(Can get promoted any time)
6. T Stubbs: RHB+RAO
7. Dwaine Pretorious: RHB+RAM
8. Wayne Parnell: LHB+LAM
9. K Rabada: LHB+RAM
10. T Shamsi: Chinaman
11. L Ngidi: RAM

Even A Nortje can play.

Team Break Up:

Main Batters: Q De Kock, R Rossouw, Reeza Hendricks and A Markram

Main Spinners: T Shamsi(Keshav Maharaj can also play)

Main Pacers: L Ngidi, K Rabada, D Pretorious and W Parnell

Expected Death Overs: Not sure. They keep changing in almost every match. Chances of L Ngidi and W Parnell are high.

Important Pick:

1. Q De Kock: South African wicket keeper batter is the most experienced batter of his team, as well as, most destructive and consistent batter of his side. He will be must have pick in your fantasy site as South African opener will provide backup points with his wicket keeping skill as well. His current form is also on his side as, in his last 5 matches, he has two half centuries to his name.
2. A Markram: South African middle order batter is the impactful player for his team in the middle overs. Recently, his performance against spin has improved a lot. He can also roll his arm against left handers if needed.
3. D Pretorious: South African all rounder is very useful player for his team. He can bowl in death overs and can be promoted in batting order for hitting anytime. Thus, a a very good choice for your dream11 team.
4. L Ngidi: He has very good skill of picking wickets at regular intervals and can be proved very effective in death overs as well. South African pacer will be good choice in your fantasy team and if, proteas will bowl first then you can also think of making him captain your one of the fantasy teams of grand leagues.
5. W Parnell: South African pacer is man in form bowler for his team. He will start the bowling attack of South African team and can bowl in death over as well. If needed, he can contribute with his batting as well. He will be choice in your dream11 team.

2. Reeza Hendricks
3. T Shamsi
