Liam Livingstone:

Livingstone looks in fine with the ball quite a bit in the last series against Pakistan. He bowls both off-spin and leg-spin and can chip in a with a wicket or two in the middle overs as the conditions at St Lucia will aid the spinners. Not to forget his brute strength with the bat. Punt pick.

Moeen Ali:

Moeen Ali will also bowl 2-3 overs, especially against De Kock at the top. If he picks up any wickets in the first two overs then he is expected to bowl atleast one more.

He can trouble South African middle order and don’t be surprised if he picks up 2-3 wickets in this match.

The middle-order batter amassed 479 runs, including four half-centuries and as he’s arguably the best spin hitter in the world at the moment. English bowling attack will depend quite a lot on their part time spinners. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.
