Team Guide

Makes various team combinations with the help of these information.

South Africa

Quinton De Kock :
Quinton de Kock is one of the most experienced players in the South Africa squad. He is the most runs for Proteas in this tournament, he has scored 199 runs with the strike rate of 148. He will open the innings and he has smashed 2540 runs in 90 T20I matches. He also has scored 45 runs in his only T20I innings against Afghanistan. Popular pick.

Heinrich Klaasen :
Heinrich Klaasen is the magnificent spin-hitter. In this tournament, he has scored 132 runs, majority of which came when it was required the most. In case the top order collapses, Klaasen can stand tall and guide South Africa to a respectable total. Klaasen had a tremendous outing in the recently concluded IPL 2024. 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. Afghan bowling attack will depend quite a lot on their spinners. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Reeza Hendricks :
Reeza Hendricks is quality batter but looking in out of touch in this tournament. He was South Africa’s leading run-scorer in the recent bilateral series, scoring 127 runs in 3 matches against the West Indies and has been in exceptional form lately. His recent T20 scores are: 0, 11, 43, 0, 3, 4, 6, 34, 87, 73*. Must have pick.

Aiden Markam :
Aiden Markam is the quality batting allrounder who will bat at 3 for his team and may bowl an over or two if the situation demands. He is going through with poor form in this year, managed to scored just 96 runs at an average of 13.7 and a strike rate of 100 in his seven T20I innings in 2024. Must have pick.

Tristan Stubbs :
Tristan Stubbs will enter the World Cup after enjoying a successful IPL campaign. Batting in the lower middle order, the right-hander amassed 378 runs at an incredible strike rate of 190.91. Tristan Stubbs stitched a match-winning partnership of 65 runs with David Miller in their earlier match against the Netherlands. The right-hander contributed 29 runs off 27 balls in last match against the WI. He is also a gun fielder and a handy off-spin bowler. Punt pick.

David Miller :
David Miller has been the savior for South Africa in the big tournaments. He is leading the way with the bat for the team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, scoring second most 148 runs with the best score of 59*. Miller is someone who can play both pace and spin with ease. The conditions at Trinidad will favor his batting style. Miller scored 19 runs in his only T20I innings against Afghanistan. Good pick.

Marco Jansen :
Marco Jansen picked up a wicket and scored much needed 21* runs in last match. He is a very lethal bowler when there is help with the new ball and the new ball bowlers have received plenty of assistance at the Trinidad, especially, in the first innings. Jansen is handy with the bat as well. Jansen’s recent figures are 1/17, 0/32 2/20, 0/15, 1/45, 0/44, 0/40, 1/49 & 2/14. Will be a best fantasy captain for grand league.

Kagiso Rabada :
Kagiso Rabada will be the lead pacer for the Proteas and he can pick up 2-3 wickets on his day without breaking a sweat. He was looks in rhythm in past two games took 1/11 & 3/18. Rabada took 2 wickets in his only T20I innings against Afghanistan. The conditions are expected to suit him and he’ll be a top pick.

Anrich Nortje :
Anrich Nortje is the highest wicket-taker for South Africa in this T20 World Cup: 7 inns, 11 wickets, avg. 15.27, SR 15.27 with the best figures of 4 for 7. The star South African pacer was at his desructive best with the ball when he dismissed four Sri Lankan batters for just 7 runs from his 4 overs. Afghanistan's aren't accustomed to playing such high speeds and this could be a huge headache for the Afghan side. Must have pick.

Ottniel Baartman :
Ottniel Baartman will be a must-pick for this match. He is a genuine wicket-taker and will bowl in the death overs. Baartman picked up two in the first game and four in the second game. Punt pick.

Keshav Maharaj :
Keshav Maharaj is the quality spinner who's scalped 9 wickets with the exceptional economy 6.08 in six matches of this tournament with the best figures of 3 for 27. The conditions of Trinidad are ideal for Keshav Maharaj’s style of bowling where the ball turns a lot than expected. Good pick.

Tabraiz Shamsi :
Tabraiz Shamsi is teft arm chinaman bowler from J’Burg, who's got the opportunity to feature in the XI in their game against Nepal where he won the player of the match award for his spell of 4/19 & took 3/27 in last game and against awarded by man of the match award. Punt pick.

Afghanistan

Rahmanullah Gurbaz :

Gulbadin Naib :
Gulbadin Naib is the lucky charm for Afghan team, he's able to do anything like batting bowling or acting. The veteran all-rounder was the game changer as he picked 4/20 vs Australia and played the biggest role in Afghanistan's historic win. He has mustered 81 runs at a strike-rate of 103.84. With the ball, he has picked up 7 wickets at an economy rate of 5.57 in this tournament. Gulbadin Naib scored 26 runs in his only T20I innings against South Africa. Must have pick.

Azmatullah Omarzai :

Azmatullah Omarzai has 389 runs to his name in his T20I career and also has bagged 28 wickets. He can easily collect some points for you because he is very able batter and also has the ability to pick the wickets. He can easily collect some points for you because he is a very able batter and also has the ability to pick the wickets. Another very good option for grand league.

Mohammad Nabi :
Mohammad Nabi is the evergreen allrounder for Afghanistan who has 11 runs in two T20I innings against South Africa. He also has 2 wickets against them. Must have pick.
