ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Top Batter and Wicket-Keeper Picks
Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock is in good form in ODIs this year having scored 303 runs in 5 matches which includes a century and 2 fifties. Talking about his record against ENG, he has a batting average of 65.27 against them which is again phenomenal.
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler is having a batting average of 114 this year in ODIs (342 runs in 5 innings, which is more than 68 runs per innings on an average). Also, given that he is a wicketkeeper, there is always a scope for scoring extra points even of he scores 30-40 runs with the bat and thus does end up in the Fantasy Dream team more often than not.
David Miller
David Miller has batted only 4 times against ENG in ODIs in which his scores read 69*, 71*, 11 & 56*
ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Top Bowler Picks
David Willey
David Willey since 2019 has been wicketless in only 3 ODIs (total 30 wkts in 16 matches) and thus is in phenomenal form. Also, with the bat he can score quickfire cameos and thus has the ability to give bonus fantasy points as in the recent series against IND, he scored 18, 41 & 21 runs respectively in 3 matches.
Tabraiz Shamsi
Tabraiz Shamsi has been wicketless only twice in ODIs since the start of 2021 (total 19 wkts in 12 matches) and thus is a safe pick. Talking about his record against ENG, he has played only twice and had taken 1/58 & 3/38 respectively, which are decent figures.
Reece Topley
Reece Topley was wicketless in the first match of the recent ODI series against IND, but then followed it up with a brilliant performance of 6/24 & 3/35 in the next 2 matches and thus is carrying good form and momentum into this series.
ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Top All-Rounder Picks
Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes will be playing his last ODI and thus will be looking to end his ODI career on a high, at his home ground (Durham). As context, he has a great record against South Africa in ODIs having scored 356 runs and taken 7 wkts in 8 matches, which accounts to an average of 75+ fantasy points per match.
Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone looked decent in the recent series against IND as he scored 60 runs and took 1 wkt in the last 2 matches of the series. Given that the top order of ENG is really struggling to find form, someone like Livingstone can be a good pick as he can score quickfire 30-40 odd runs lower down the order and thus might not score big fantasy points but can end up in the Dream team.
Dwaine Pretorius
Dwaine Pretorius in his only ODI at this venue (Durham) had taken 3/25 (in 2019) and thus has happy memories here. Talking about his form, he has scored 42 runs and taken 7 wickets in his last 4 ODIs, which are more than decent numbers for a bowling all-rounder.
