SA vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction:  The  01st T20I match of the series is set to resume after it was kept on hold as one member of A Africa’s squad was found Covid Positive. The match will be now played on 06th December at 01:30 PM.

This is a match between teams with contrasting journeys. After the debacle of 2015 World Cup, England have emerged as the white-ball champions while after making a stunning show in the 2015 World Cup, South Africa’s powers have depleted. But with the 2023 World Cup in mind, the Proteas will look to start afresh under the leadership of Q de Kock. England meanwhile will look to extend their dominance as they have already pocked the T20I series.

England will bank of J Bairstow and J Root to do the bulk of the run-scoring while J Buttler has been the finisher. M Wood will be the key bowler and A Rashid can emerge as the X factor.

Wicket-keepers: de Kock, J Buttler, J Bairstow
Batsmen: F du Plessis, J Roy, J Root
All-rounder:  A Phehlukwayo 
Bowlers:  A Nortje, L Ngidi,  M Wood, A Rashid

Captain and vice-captain:

J Bairstow  is one of the best in the world as an opener. He has made 10 hundreds in just 59 games as an opener and has scored 2616 runs at an average of 50.30. He has made 184 runs in his last 3 ODI innings and his last ODI innings produced a score of 112 runs.

Q de Kock is South Africa’s best batsmen in this squad and he is very fine opening batsmen. He has made 5135 runs in 121 ODI innings at an average of 44.65. He also averages 44.65 and has a good strike rate of 94.84.

J Malan has had a great start to his ODI career and he has made 152 runs in 3 innings. He has one hundred on his name as he scored 129* against Australia earlier this year. His hunger for runs makes him the X Factor in this game.

J Root is a crucial player in this series as he didn’t make runs in the last ODI series and now has a point to prove. He averages 50.10 in ODI cricket and has scored 5962 runs at a strike-rate of 86.90 and has made 16 hundreds and 33 fifties. Watch out for him in this series as he hasn’t scored an ODI hundred in the last 12 innings. So a big score is round the corner.

Who will win SA vs ENG Dream11 match today

England are the world champion in white-ball cricket and has a galaxy of stars in their squad while South Africa looks like a weaker team. So in the SA vs ENG Dream11 today match prediction, expect England to win the game.
