Match Details:
Cape Cobras vs Knights, CSA T20 Challenge 2019, Match 13
16th April 2019, 9:30 PM IST
Newlands, Cape Town
Pitch Report:
A competitive wicket is on offer with the T20 played between Sri Lanka and South Africa in mid-March seeing a Super Over take place and a similar kind of a pitch was seen last Sunday with the Cobras defending 152. Off pace deliveries are the order of the day while batsmen should find their touch once they apply themselves early on.
Playing XI Updates:
Wicket-keeper: Kyle Verreynne's form is too good to ignore with talks of Verreynne even being in the national scheme of things, he should be preferred over the Gous for this match.
Batsmen: Two of Amla, Malan, and Bedingham should be picked in the side while the Knights duo of Raynard von Tonder and Pite van Biljon are must have players in the side considering their ability to rotate the strike and accelerate when necessary.
Allrounders: Ryan McLaren and Pat Kruger are great options to have while Vernon Philander's all-round performances of late are too good to ignore for this match.
Bowlers: Rory Kleinveldt and Dane Paterson are must have players in the side with their international experience and form coming into play. Ottneil Baartman has also picked wickets regularly and should complete the bowling department.
Captain: Hashim Amla is due for a big one and should be backed as captain while Ryan McLaren and Vernon Philander are also great options to this competitive wicket.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Kyle Verreynne (WK), Hashim Amla, David Bedingham, Pite van Biljon, Raynard von Tonder, Ryan McLaren, Pat Kruger, Vernon Philander, Rory Kleinveldt, Dane Paterson and Ottneil Baartman. Captain: Hashim Amla
