AUS vs SA Dream11 Grand League Predictions

South Africa tour of Australia, 2018

Australia vs South Africa,  Only T20I | AUS vs SA WHO WILL WIN

Context is a big thing in cricket, but not for the administrators at least. Which is why South Africa find themselves spend a weak in Australia before.playing a solitary T20I to cap off their sojourn Down Under.

Context-less match critical for Australia

But, for Australia, the lone T20I gives them an opportunity to address their batting issues as the 3-match rubber looms against India looms.

This will be the first T20 that Australia will play at home since their Trans-Tasman tri-series win in February. At that time, the Aussies, under the leadership of David Warner and had a plenty going for them with the likes of Maxwell, Lynn, Finch in full flow.

Since then, they’ve lost to England, tri-series final in Zimbabwe and were recently whitewashed by Pakistan in the UAE. That Nathan Coulter-Nile was Australia’s top-run getter in the UAE speaks volumes of how the home side’s batting line-up struggled on the slow pitches in the desert.

But, in home conditions, the likes of Finch, Lynn, Short, and Maxwell cannot be taken likely. They have the ability to destroy the balling unit and of the batters can get a decent score on the board, they have proven T20I bowlers in Tye (second-highest wicket-taker this year), Coulter-Nile and Billy Stanlake to cause jitters in the opposition line-up.

South Africa look to cap off the tour on a high

South Africa, who too have not had a great year in T20Is will be wary of it.

After losing to India at home, 1-2, they lost the solitary T20I in Sri Lanka and their batting was lackluster against Zimbabwe.

With the absence of Duminy and Amla, the onus will be on de Kock, Miller, du Plessis, and Behardein, who had a good outing in the practice game. South Africa will miss the services of Dale Steyn but in Ngidi, Rabada, Dala, Morris and the spinners in Tahir and Shamsi, they have a formidable attack to counter Australia.

Ultimately, with both sides boasting off a formidable bowling unit, it’s the side that bats better will ultimately define the narrative of the contest.

• Faf du Plessis made it clear in the press conference that he’ll look to experiment with the Playing 11, giving as many players a chance as possible.
• Dale Steyn has been released from the squad while Tabraiz Shamsi might get his first game of the tour, keeping in mind Australia’s perennial weakness against spin.

AUS vs SA Grand League Dream11 Teams

Team 01

Flat batting track

T20I pitches are normally as flat as a highway, so expect the likes of Lynn, Finch, Miller and the rest to have a ball.

Aaron Finch is due for runs after his lackluster showing in the UAE, while the likes of Short and Lynn are at their best when the ball comes to the bat easily. David Miller is coming off a scintillating ton in the last ODI; he could be an ideal choice to captain your Grand League side.

Team 02

Pacers ruling the roost

Both sides have a formidable pace-attack and an equally vulnerable batting-unit.  While Australia boasts off Tye, Coulter-Nile, and Stanlake, South Africa have the likes of Ngidi and Rabada to rattle the fledgling Aussie batting attack.

QuickProTip:- Choose more fast bowlers

Team 03

Australia’s weakness against spin was exposed to the hilt in the UAE, and the left-arm spin of Tabraiz Shamsi can cause a few jitters. South Africa, too are skeptical against spin and the likes of Zampa or Agar could come in handy.

Team 04

Unexpected Heroes

South African captain Faf du Plessis hinted at experimentation tomorrow. The likes of Pretorius, who impressed in the ODI series, Phelukhwayo or Stoinis could be game changers.
