TFG Fantasy Pundit: South Africa's top-order batsmen, seamers essential for the Benoni round

Overview 

It’s a day game and the pitch at Benoni is likely to be a batting-friendly wicket. Also, picking a combination of 7 SA & 4 IRE players might be the way to for this round.

Probable 11 for the round 

SA: Rilee Rossouw, Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, JP Duminy, David Miller, Temba Bavuma/Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Andile Phelukwayo 

IRE: William Porterfield, Ed Joyce, Gary Wilson, Kevin O’Brien, Nail O’Brien, Paul Stirling, John Anderson, Barry McCarthy, George Dockrell/Andy Mcbrine, Craig Young, Tim Murtagh 

Players who cannot be ignored 

Quinton De Kock -- Given his recent run in the ODIs, it would be a folly to drop him. Will open the batting. 

Faf du Plessis -- The skipper has found form once again, and will be a vital figure at the top. 

Kevin O’Brien -- Regardless of where he plays, his all-round abilities make him a handy fantasy pick. 

Dark Horses 

Rilee Rossouw -- He might open the innings and has the ability to tear away in the powerplay. 

Barry McCarthy -- He was brilliant against Pakistan with the new ball a month ago, and will lead the attack for his team again. 

TFG Pundit XI: Rilee Rossouw, Quinton de Kock(c), Faf du Plessis, JP Duminy, Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Gary Wilson, Kevin O’Brien(vc), Paul Stirling, Barry McCarthy

Happy Hunting!!!
