DUR Vs JOZ Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Dane Vilas will continue to hold fort in the wicket-keeping slot of our Dream 11 side. The player is up against a dismal bowling unit, one which can easily see him recover his lost touch and regale us in the clean brand of batting he’s held in such regard for.
DUR Vs JOZ Dream11 Batsmen
He needed a mere 55 balls to maraud his way to 97 runs the last time around for his side, becoming the focal point of his side’s consummate success the last time around. It was a staunch innings from the bat of Alex Hales, a knock he looks set to emulate with the player finally having settled into his groove.
He will find company in the form of Wihan Lubbe for today’s imminent encounter while form the other side of the docket we are moving in with a trio of picks, one which begins with Reeza Hendricks who scored 74 runs in just 53 balls in the previous affair. Temba Bavuma is also coming in from the setup after his 37 in the same contest saw him and Hendricks stitch together an enthralling 99 run stand for the first wicket.
Unbeaten on 28 runs in the same affair, Rassie van der Dussen will also be finding a spot in our Dream 11 unit to wrap up the most heavily decked up section of our side.
DUR Vs JOZ Dream11 All-Rounders
Just the one player for us in this docket of our Dream 11 unit with us moving in with the selection of Daniel Christian. He is someone capable of intertwining his skill set with both the bat and ball in unison to make an instrumental player for his side, someone we see galloping his way towards an integral performance for Jozi Stars.
DUR Vs JOZ Dream11 Bowling Order
If his side are to have any chance of mustering up a result in their favour come today, they’ll be requiring the duo of their pacers to be at the forefront of their skill set. In frontline pacers Duanne Olivier and Kagiso Rabada, the side have two names capable of making things jittery for Durban Heat with the two capable of seeing the shape of the ball waver and frisk upon pitching on the track.
It’s something which saw the two return with the two wickets in between them the last time around to see us entrust them for the day while from the other side of the slot, Malusi Siboto and Keshav Maharaj will be wrapping up our picks for the tie.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Hales comes out to represent us as the side’s captain while Hendricks is our vice-captain.
