TFG Fantasy Pundit: It's a tight-budget round, taking calculated risks the way to go

Overview 

Expect perfect batting conditions at Centurion. Remember, AB de Villiers won’t be playing in this series. Also, the Aussies are likely to stick to their team that played against Ireland. 

Probable 11 

SA- Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, Faf du plessis, David Miller, Duminy, Farhan Behardien, Dwaine Pretorius, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir

AUS- David Warner, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Steve Smith, George Bailey, Mitch Marsh, Mathew Wade, John Hastings, Adam Zampa, Chris Boland, Daniel Worrall 

Players who cannot be ignored 

Steve Smith- Loves playing against South Africa and has a tremendous record in the ODIs. 

Kagiso Rabada- He will be hostile and will go after the Australian batsmen. A genuine wicket-taker. 

Adam Zampa- Has become a strike bowler for the Aussies lately in limited overs cricket. Will be interesting to see how the hosts play him. 

Quinton De Kock- Has been batting with real intent and consistency at the top. Don’t take a chance by dropping him. 

John Hastings- Likely to open the bowling, and his ability to strike at the death is quite amazing. 

TFG Pundit XI: Faf du plessis, Quinton de Kock(c), Duminy, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir, Steve Smith(vc), George Bailey, Mitch Marsh, Dale Steyn, John Hastings, Adam Zampa 

After reading reports from Centurion about Hashim Amla's fever, we are not ready to take any chances with our fantasy team. Hence, we replace Amla with Faf du for this round. 

Happy Hunting!!!
