Fantasy Guide for Pakistan vs South Africa

Now, I already have Mohammad Amir and Quinton De Kock in my side for this game.

With Pakistan dishing out a shambolic overall performance against India, I am not going to waste any of my transfers on them.

From the South African side, the first player that I would get in for this game is Kagiso Rabada. With Pakistan’s batting lineup probably being the most fragile out of the 8 teams on offer, Rabada’s selection seems to be the most mouth watering one, as he could clean up the top, middle and lower order with ease. Get him in, he should be in for at least 3 wickets today.

Hashim Amla’s consistency with the bat just forces you to get him in. The only issue that Amla ever had with his batting was that he used to sometimes fall over while shuffling across and playing the ball towards the leg side. And he has corrected that little fault of his as well, making him quite the invincible batsman. Against a seemingly tame Bangladesh bowling attack, you just need to get him in!

My third transfer for the day would be AB de Villiers. The number one ODI batsman in the world can never be counted out, no matter what the oppositon and what the playing conditions. He has strokes for every scenario and if you go in without him, he could make you regret big time. Now, if you want to be a little smart and save a transfer here, you can opt out of getting in ABD, if Pakistan bat first, as Pakistan are very unlikely to put up a huge score, and hence ABD would have too little to do in the second innings, thereby decreasing his ‘impact potential’.

For the last transfer of the day, I would get in Imran Tahir. Seeing how horribly Pakistan played Jadeja in the previous game, I am tempted to get in Tahir ahead of Morris. The inexperienced Pakistan batting line up could have a tough time getting Tahir away and thus he should be able to carve out wickets for himself with his bamboozling leg spinners. Also, the fact that Pakistan don’t have any left handers in the top 6, makes a very strong case for Tahir’s inclusion.

Batting Star: ABD(if South Africa bat first)/Amla(if South Africa bat second)
