ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 3rd T20I
The third T20I between England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) will be played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Sunday, July 31.
After a tough start to the T20Is, South Africa hit back with a fine bowling performance to level the series. Although they have rested the likes of Anrich Nortje, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram, the Proteas have been the better team in the series. England, meanwhile, will be itching to win their first white-ball home series in this English summer. Although both teams look evenly-matched on paper, Jos Buttler and Co. might just hold the edge going into the game. All in all, a cracker of a match beckons at the Rose Bowl today.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rose Bowl is expected to be a decent one to bat on. There should be enough movement and extra bounce to keep the pacers interested early on. However, the pitch could slow down as the match progresses, allowing the spinners to have a say in the outcome of the match. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 170 being a great total at the venue.
Today’s ENG vs SA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock has not been in the best of form in the T20I series, unable to get going in the powerplay phase. However, he is an elite batter capable of scoring big runs in this format. He has the experience and skill-set to excel in these conditions, making him a must-have in your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Jason Roy: Jason Roy has underwhelmed at the top of the order for England this summer. While he has had his moments, Roy has struggled to strike a chord with consistency. The English opener is a good player of pace, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali has had a good series with the bat so far, coming up with two impactful knocks in the middle order. The southpaw is a brilliant player of spin and can also chip in with his handy off-spin. Given the conditions on offer at the Rose Bowl, Moeen should be a fine addition to your ENG vs SA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada is one of the best bowlers in the world in T20 cricket, given his knack for picking up key wickets. While he is a force to be reckoned with the new ball, Rabada's ability to take wickets in death overs is what stands out. With the South African pacer in decent form, he can be backed to pick up a wicket or two in this game.
