AUS vs SA Dream11 Predictions – T20 World Cup 2021 | 23 Oct

It’s finally time to kick start the main draw of the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, taking place in Oman and UAE. After the Qualifiers got done, it’s time for the Super 12s and we begin with Match 13 (first of the Super 12s) where the mighty Australia team is in action. Always one of the favourites in a ICC event, this team is yet to win the T20 World Cup since its inception in 2007 and they’re up against a tough opposition today.

We’re talking about South Africa who we wouldn’t have called a tough opponent a week ago but they did well in the warmups, beating Afghanistan and cup favourites, Pakistan. They also beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in a series before the tournament began while Australia beat NZ on the last ball and lost to India in their warmups.

Australia

The spotlight will definitely be on David Warner who has two ducks in his last 4 games which includes only 1 run in the two warmup games. We are backing him to hit form sometime in this tournament, but not just yet as he’s faced issues against Kagiso Rabada in the past. We’re leaving him out of our AUS vs SA fantasy team but captain Aaron Finch has comparatively been in good form, with 8 against India being his first single-digit score in 5 games.

Steve Smith has never been the ideal T20 batsman but with Marcus Stoinis back to full fitness, we can expect this player to be a game changer. His quickfire 41* in the warmup against India showed what he can do and bowling is a bonus, so pick him in your AUS vs SA Dream11 team. Among the bowlers, Pat Cummins was very expensive in the last game and we saw him struggle in the IPL 2020 season as well. It’s likely they pick Josh Hazlewood who is in form and won IPL 2021 with Chennai Super Kings.

South Africa

Left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has 28 wickets in T20Is this year and is 4 wickets away from a record of most wickets in this format in a calendar year. He’s had a stellar year and with the Aussies slightly struggling against spin, he could be your x-factor pick. Kagiso Rabada had a quiet IPL 2021 as compared to his fellow SA pacer Anrich Nortje but 3/28 against Pakistan means you can expect his A-game this tournament.

With 101* against Pakistan in the warmup, expect a lot of runs in this tournament from Rassie van der Dussen, so definitely pick him in your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AUS vs SA fantasy team today. Someone who did well and was very comfortable in the IPL 2021 season on the same pitches was middle order batsman Aiden Markram, and I’m very bullish on this player today.
