It has been a disappointing tournament for Jozi Stars in the Mzansi Super League so far as they have lost all their 7 matches so far and doesn’t stand a realistic chance of going through to the last 4. The defending champions have been found wanting in every department of the game and they will surely look to win their first game of the tournament when they lock horns against Tshwane Spartans in the 25th match of the competition.
Tshwane Spartans, on the other hand, has played some impressive cricket and are currently occupying the 3rd spot in the points table. They need to win two of their remaining matches to finish in the top 3. Even a bonus-point win will assure them a spot in the first half of the tournament. Both teams have some exceptional players in their ranks and will look to make an impact in the all-important clash.

TST vs JOZ Dream11 Wicket-keepers
Heinrich Klaasen will be the first pick in this segment given his exceptional power hitting skills. He isn’t having a great tournament so far. However, he is a big match player and we might witness a big knock from him later today.
TST vs JOZ Dream11 Batsmen
AB de Villiers doesn’t need any introduction. Mr 360 has been a prolific run-scorer for South Africa and has also played some great knocks in this tournament so far. He smashed a sensational 63 in the previous clash against the Giants. De Villiers stroked his way to a great knock of an unbeaten 69 against Paarl Rocks.
Reeza Hendricks should be the 2nd pick in this category. He is a brilliant timer of the ball and has been very consistent in this format. In the last clash against Paarl Rocks, he scored 74 and looked in great touch.
Dean Elgar will be the 3rd pick in this category. The southpaw had a few relatively poor outings but looked in great touch during the initial stages of the tournament. He scored 57 against the Durban Heats and an unbeaten 88 against the Paarl Rocks.
Temba Bavuma will be the next pick in this segment. He has looked in good touch all through the tournament and will be a vital pick for the Jozi Stars.
TST vs JOZ Dream11 All-rounders
Dan Christian will be the first pick in this segment. The all-rounder has been a good player over the years and his all-round abilities have made him an integral part of any T20 team.
Wiaan Mulder will be the next pick in this category. He has been pretty impressive in the tournament and scored a well-crafted half-century in the previous clash against Giants. He also been among wickets and will look to make an impact later today.
Roelof van der Merwe will be the last pick in the all-rounder’s segment. He is a powerful striker of the ball and is an impressive left-arm spinner in the middle overs. Van der Merwe has bagged some crucial wickets in the tournament so far.
TST vs JOZ Dream11 Bowlers
Kagiso Rabada is one of the finest bowlers in world cricket at the moment and will be the first pick in this segment. He bagged 3 wickets in the previous clash and will to continue his good work. His hostility will come in handy for the Jozi Stars.
Lungi Ngidi will be the 2nd bowler in our dream XI team. The tall fast bowler has also bagged some important wickets and should be a sensible pick in the dream XI team. He bagged two wickets each in the last 3 matches and will look to add a few more to his tally later today.
Morne Morkel will be our final pick in our dream XI team. The former South African bowler who tormented top-class batters during his heydays is having a good tournament with the ball. He has bagged 10 wickets in the tournament so far.
Captain and Vice-Captain
AB de Villiers will be our captain for the day while Wiaan Mulder will be the vice-captain.
