SA vs ENG Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Quinton de Kock (37(41) in the previous match)

Quinton de Kock looked in good touch in the previous game, scoring 37 runs in 41 balls. He has a terrific record with 5870 runs at an average of 45.50 in ODI cricket, holding him in good stead. With de Kock capable of scoring big runs, he is a top pick for your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

Dawid Malan (59(55) in the previous match)

Dawid Malan scored a brisk fifty in the previous game, complementing Jason Roy to perfection at the top of the order. Like de Kock, Malan also has a brilliant ODI record with 514 runs at an average of 51.40.

He has a good record in South African conditions as well, making him a good addition to your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Aiden Markram (45 matches, 1101 runs, 11 wickets)

Aiden Markram had an off-day against the English in the first ODI, scoring only 13 runs and proving expensive in his two overs as well. However, Markram is in decent form, having scored over 150 runs in the SA20 and also chipping in with the ball.

With Markram due for a big score in ODI cricket, he can be backed in your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Chris Woakes (108 matches, 157 wickets, Average: 29.75)

Chris Woakes did not feature in the previous game but is likely to take his place as the new-ball specialist. Woakes has 157 wickets in 108 matches with a brilliant average of 29.75. Given that Woakes can add value with the bat too, he is a fine addition to your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

SA vs ENG match captain and vice-captain choices

Anrich Nortje

Anrich Nortje is the talk of the town given his brilliant form in SA20 and in the previous game as well. He comes into the game on the back of a four-fer at this very venue, using his pace and accuracy brilliantly in the middle overs. With an ODI average of 25.31 to his name, Nortje is a fine captaincy pick in your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler showed signs of form in the previous game, scoring 36 runs in just 42 balls. He is one of the better white-ball cricketers in the world with an ODI average and strike rate of 39.92 and 118.66, respectively.

With Buttler also in good form over the last few weeks, especially in SA20, he is a viable choice as captain or vice-captain in your SA vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.
