Match Preview
South Africa Champions have had a fantastic campaign so far under the guidance of AB de Villiers. They’ve won both of their games and are currently sitting at the top of the points table.
Their last game against India Champions was full of dominant performances, as they scored 208 runs while batting first, with AB de Villiers smashing 63 off just 30 balls. Before rain had its say, they had completely kept things under control, taking 9 wickets of the Indian side for just 111 runs and winning the game by 88 runs through the DLS method. De Villiers is one the top dream11 captaincy picks for this contest given his current form.
Meanwhile, England are yet to open their account. They’ve played three games so far, losing two, with one ending without a result. The likes of Moeen Ali and Liam Plunkett haven’t quite looked in the rhythm they’re known for, while Eoin Morgan and Ian Bell have lacked consistency. They’ll need to come together as a unit if they want to stop the in-form de Villiers side.
