TFG Fantasy Pundit: SA pacers likely to leave the Lankan batsmen clueless at Port Elizabeth

Overview 

There is more grass on the PE wicket and we think the Lankan batsmen might struggle against South Africa’s quality seam bowlers. Also, the Lankan pace line-up looks unsettled. 

Probable 11

SA- Cook, Elgar, Amla, Faf, Duminy, Bavuma, De Kock, Abott, Philander, Maharaj, Rabada 

SL- Silva, Karuraratne, Mendis, K Perera, Mathews, Chandimal, D Silva, Pradeep, Herath, Lakmal, Kumara/Chameera

Players who cannot be missed 

Amla- He is going through a lean patch, but we get a feeling that he will come good sooner than later.

Rabada- His pace and bounce will make life difficult for the Lankan batsmen. 

Mathews- A genuine all-rounder. Don’t forget- he is also declared himself fit to bowl. 

Philander- His nagging line and length is bound to get him wickets surely. 

Herath- He might not extract much out of the surface, but still his experience will come in handy. 

TFG Pundit XI: 

BAT- Amla (VC), Karuraratne, Cook, J Mendis 
BOWL- Philander(C), Herath, Rabada, Abbott
A/R- Mathews, Duminy
W/K- de Kock

Happy Hunting!!!
