Top fantasy picks and tips for SA vs AUS
Glenn Maxwell: All-rounder
It is not even worth debating why Glenn Maxwell should be first pick in your fantasy XI. He is an all-in-one package and is a good enough player to contribute in every department. In the ongoing World Cup, Maxwell has put various records in his kitty, starting with scoring the fastest ODI World Cup hundred in 40 balls. He also smashed a double-century versus Afghanistan, putting his body on the line. In total, he has scored 397 runs in seven matches at a staggering strike-rate of 152.69.
David Warner: Batter
Australia opener David Warner is leading the run-scoring charts for his side. He has amassed 499 runs in nine innings at an average of 55.44 and a strike-rate of 105.50, including two centuries and as many fifties. Although it has been a stop-start kind of tournament for him, he holds a big-match temperament and has all the tools to flourish at the Eden Gardens.
Quinton de Kock: Batter
South Africa opening batter Quinton de Kock is going all guns blazing with the bat in this World Cup. He has hit the most numbers of centuries (4) in the ongoing edition of the competition. All of his hundreds have come while batting first, meaning if South Africa are performing the task to set the target, he could be their man in charge. The southpaw has accumulated a total of 591 runs at an average and strike-rate of 65.67 and 109.24 respectively.
