Pitch Report
A relatively high-scoring game beckons at SuperSport Park with the batters expected to rule the roost. The pacers should get some extra bounce and swing early on, keeping the batters on their toes. The spinners might not get much turn off the surface, with variations in pace being the key. Wickets in hand will be crucial to either side's fortunes, with both teams likely to prefer chasing under the lights upon winning the toss.
Today’s SA vs BAN Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Liton Das: Liton Das was Bangladesh's best batter against Afghanistan in the previous series, coming up with handy knocks at the top of the order. Liton is competent against both pace and spin. And given his recent form, he is a good addition to your SA vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Rassie van der Dussen: Rassie van der Dussen is one of the best batters on the South African circuit and averages in excess of 60 in ODI cricket. Like Liton, Rassie van der Dussen also had a brilliant series against India earlier in the year and should make for a good pick in this game.
All-rounder
Mehidy Hasan: While Shakib Al Hasan is available for this game, Mehidy Hasan's recent form and ability holds him in high regard. The Bangladesh all-rounder has improved his batting ability over the last few seasons, with his off-spin being key in the middle overs. With the conditions likely to suit him as well, Mehidy is one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Tabraiz Shamsi: Tabraiz Shamsi, who is now South Africa's lead spinner, has done well since taking up the role from Imran Tahir. Shamsi's variations and Bangladesh's recent woes against leg-spin could be crucial in this game, making him a must-have in your SA vs BAN Dream11 fantasy team.
