South Africa play Pakistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on October 27: here’s the SA vs PAK Dream11 fantasy preview, including predictions and tips for CWC 2023 Match No.26.
CWC 2023: South Africa vs Pakistan match preview
Themba Bavuma missed the last two matches due to a stomach illness but is expected to return for the match against Pakistan. He also said that Tabraiz Shamsi is likely to play if the situation demands it. South Africa are in good form with 4 wins from 5 matches and appear to be a team that can beat them. Another win in Chennai would further improve their chances of finishing in the top four.
Pakistan are not at their best on and off the field. The PCB issued a defensive statement, claiming that while the players looked lethargic on the field, there was no disagreement within the team. In mortal danger with just two wins from five games, they have to play their best game against South Africa in Chennai, but they are already suffering without Hassan Ali, who is suffering from a fever.
SA vs PAK fantasy tips
# Quinton de Kock is in purple after scoring 300 points in five games at the 2023 World Cup. Chennai may present a different kind of challenge for him, but his current rhythm gives hope that he can overcome what lies ahead. He should be in your XI.
# Like de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen also lit up the World Cup in his last game. He is currently one of the best spin players in white-ball cricket and will be South Africa’s go-to player in the middle order in Chennai.
# Aiden Markram has enjoyed consistent success as a batsman in the World Cup. However, he may have to bowl for the first time this season, especially in Chennai against Pakistan’s left-handers. He should be on your side and be one of your top captain candidates.
# Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are Pakistan’s surest batsmen. Even if he doesn’t have a fast run, there’s a good chance he can score enough points.
