Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
In this ODI series, Quinton de Kock has scored 31 and 37, showing promise in his brief but significant performances. His ODI average of 45.39 shows that he is one of the best openers in the world. Your SA vs. ENG Dream11 prediction team needs De Kock because he can turn small starts into big ones.
Top Batter Pick
Dawid Malan has had a successful start to his ODI career, scoring 526 runs and averaging 47.82 in 14 matches. In the series, he has also been successful, scoring 71 runs in two matches. Because he looks good against both pace and spin, Malan is a top pick for your Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
With powerful bat and ball performances throughout the series, Sam Curran has brushed aside his SA20 form. His 45 runs and two wickets stand out, as does his five-wicket economy. Curran is an excellent choice for your SA vs. ENG Dream11 prediction team because he is likely to play a more prominent role with the bat after scoring 28 runs off just 17 balls in the previous match.
