Pitch Report
Spinners will get extra help from the pitch which has traditionally produced high-scoring games over the years. The weather though isn’t great with rain expected in the first half of the day. If the game does happen in the latter half, seamers will get extra help from the overcast conditions making it a competitive game between bat and ball on Wednesday.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: Quinton de Kock has been South Africa’s best batsman in the World Cup with two fifties to his name so far. Considering his explosiveness at the top of the order, he should be able to stave off Trent Boult and Matt Henry to score some vital runs.
Batsmen: Faf du Plessis and Kane Williamson are must have players in the fantasy team given their experience and talent in the top order. Martin Guptill is also another great option to have in the side with the Kiwi due for a big one while one of Hashim Amla or Aiden Markram should suffice as the final option in the batting unit.
Allrounders: Jimmy Neesham has had a wonderful 2019 with the Kiwi allrounder even picking a fifer earlier in the tournament. He is more than just a viable option to have in the fantasy team while the likes of Andile Phehlukwayo and Chris Morris are also possible options to complete the all-rounders section.
Bowlers: Imran Tahir comes into this game on the back of a man-of-the-match performance and should continue his good form against New Zealand on Wednesday. The likes of Trent Boult and the returning Lungi Ngidi are also good options given their ability with the new ball while Lockie Ferguson’s raw pace makes him one to watch out for.
Captain: Quinton de Kock and Kane Williamson are the ideal candidates given their form in recent months. Along with them, Faf du Plessis is also one to watch out for with this being a do-or-die game for the Proteas.
