Dream11 Fantasy Team for 4th T20I
Wicketkeeping Spots
For the wicket-keeping spot, we had to decide between Rizwan and Klaasen. We were tempted to select Rizwan for his brilliant match-winning 74 in the first T20I. But we settled eventually for Klaasen’s consistency; he made 50 and 36 in the two games, whereas Rizwan was out to the first ball he received in the 2nd game.
Batting Spotsp>For the batting spots, Babar Azam was an automatic choice. Here too, consistency was the key to our choices. We picked Malan who had good starts in both matches and Markram who made two fifties. We wanted to pick another Pakistan batsman to ensure that we had at least four players from each side. But we had to ignore Sharjeel and Haider Ali for their poor performances. We considered Zaman who had scored 27 in the first match but decided eventually not to pick any more batsmen.
Allrounder Spotsp>For the allrounder spots, we picked Hafeez for his reputation rather than his performance, though he did make 32 in the 2nd T20I. We had to pick two more Pakistan players and we thought Ashraf would be one of them with his ability to bat as well as bowl. Ashraf scored 30 in the first game to help Pakistan win, though he did not pick wickets in the first two matches. Linde, who scored 20 and took 3 wickets in the first T20I, took our third allrounder spot.Bowling Spotsp>For the bowling spots, the only Pakistan player who made the grade was Hasan Ali with his wicket taking ability on display in the first two games. The remaining three spots went to Hendricks, Shamsi and Williams, all of whom have performed consistently well.Captaincy and Vice-captaincyp>Our captain is Klaasen, with his dismissals behind the stumps a bonus, while our vice-captaincy spot goes to Babar Azam.Dream 11p>Our South Africa vs Pakistan Dream11 Prediction reads as follows: Klaasen, Malan, Babar Azam, Markram, Hafeez, Linde, Ashraf, Shamsi, Williams, Hasan Ali and Hendricks.
Summaryp>We have made our SA vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction purely based on the form and performance of the players in the first couple of matches of the series, which is why there are 7 South Africa and 4 Pakistan players in our team.
