Transfers

Transfers Made: 3 | Transfers Remaining: 110

1) Rohit Sharma (BAT) (IND) - OUT | Rassie van der Dussen (BAT) (SA) - IN

2) Mohammed Siraj (BOWL) (IND) - OUT | Josh Hazlewood (BOWL) (AUS) - IN

3) Babar Azam (BAT) (PAK) - OUT | Glenn Maxwell (ALL) (AUS) - IN

The final transfers for this game will entirely depend on how the Lucknow wicket is because as of now, no one has any idea how it will play out. I'm suggesting the above transfers under the assumption that the pitch will be on the slower side and a bit similar to the wicket at Chennai and how it played for most of the IPL.

Considering that spinners will play a big part in the game, and instead of selecting Adam Zampa as a specialist bowler, I'm glad to be able to select Glenn Maxwell instead.

His growth into this proper, dependable all-rounder has been great to watch, and time and again, he has proven himself to be a genuine off-spinner and not just a part-timer. I expect more from him as a bowler, but he can also be devastating with the bat.

Rassie van der Dussen will be a crucial player for the Proteas here. He's one of the best and most underrated run accumulators in ODI cricket right now - he averages close to 60.

He's an attacking player by nature, but his attacking shots don't carry that much risk, and he always keeps the scoreboard trudging along. He's the kind of batter you want on these kinds of surfaces.

Lastly, I expect Hazlewood to follow up his stellar spell at Chepauk with another one at Lucknow. He's clearly at the top of his game as a fast bowler and should pick up a couple of wickets.

Best 2023 World Cup Fantasy Team for Match 10 - AUS vs SA

Players playing in Match 10: David Warner (BAT) (AUS), Rassie van der Dussen (BAT) (SA), Josh Hazlewood (BOWL) (AUS), Glenn Maxwell (ALL) (AUS)

Any of these players could be captaincy options, and it all depends on the conditions and the pitch report. Maxwell's all-round abilities gives him a tiny edge.
