SA vs PAK Dream11 Team - 1st ODI 2021 | 2 Apr

It was only recently that South Africa made the tour to Pakistan which was a very courageous move by all those players considering teams have not been open to travel to that part of the world over the last decade or so. SA was trounced in that tour but they’re playing a much stronger team now as Pakistan is returning the favour and travelled here for the Pakistan tour of South Africa 2021.

The tour is a limited overs one only between 2-16 April 2021 where 3 ODIs and 4 T20Is will be played as all teams are preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The series begins with the 1st ODI at SuperSport Park, Centurion where we can expect a lot of runs to be scored in both innings!

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, South Africa leads 3-2.
In 10 previous ODIs here, Pakistan has won only 4.
Quinton de Kock – 689 runs in only 9 ODIs here.

South Africa

It’s been 12+ innings across formats that Quinton de Kock last scored a fifty but he’s got happy memories at this ground with 4 centuries in only 9 ODIs and with the captaincy burden taken away, we think he’s set to get back to form. The captaincy has been taken over by Temba Bavuma who has played only 6 ODIs and he’s been getting regular starts and scores across tournaments, so should be in your SA vs PAK fantasy team.

It was this time last year that Janneman Malan made his debut for South Africa in ODIs and he managed a century in 3 ODIs against Australia, so he’ll be raring to get back to action and we’re picking him in our SA vs PAK Dream11 team as well. The touring side may find it difficult to adjust to the pace and bounce of Anrich Nortje who has 14 wickets in only 7 ODIs in his career so far while Tabraiz Shamsi may be a good additional bowling option.

Pakistan

With 3 fifties in his last 4 PSL 2021 games for Karachi Kings, Babar Azam is in good form as usual and there’s not question about including him in your team or not. Like him, we’ve seen another player who has usually performed overseas and that’s Faheem Ashraf who should be picked and is even a worthy option for your fantasy captain or vice-captain because he contributes with both bat and ball, and usually well too!

While he hasn’t been given too many options in the ODI format yet, Haider Ali has been getting big scores across competitions for a few months now and whole he’s not got major scores of late, he’s still a good option because of all that potential. With 8 wickets in his last 5 limited overs games and two 5-fers in his last Test for Pakistan, Hasan Ali is a must for your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) SA vs PAK 1st ODI fantasy team.
