SA Playing 11 for Australia vs South Africa 1st Test; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips For AUS vs SA Dream11 Team Prediction

South Africa playing 11: South Africa need to win atleast a test in this series to stand a chance to qualify for the final of the WTC. They have been the standout bowling unit in the present WTC cycle but their batting has been horrendous to say the least. They would need their skipper Dean Elgar to have a big series if they are to compete in this series. Their batting is inexperienced at this point in time. It is going to be a tough series for the Proteas.

Australia vs South Africa Dream11 prediction

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from SA

• Dean Elgar is one of the best options from South Africa. He scored a very good century in the practice game as well.

• Kagiso Rabada is one of the best fast bowlers going around in tests at the moment. He had a brilliant series when he toured Australia last time around.

• Anrich Nortje should have a good series if he bowls relentless line and length. He can be a nightmare with his pace if he gets it right.
