IND vs SA Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Quinton de Kock (70 matches, 1895 runs, Average: 30.56)

Quinton de Kock is perhaps South Africa's best batter with an average of 30.56 in T20Is. He has a decent record against India, scoring 179 runs in seven innings at a strike rate of 136. With the southpaw due for a big knock, he is a top pick for your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

KL Rahul (51(56) in the previous match)

KL Rahul fought hard for his fifty in the previous game, scoring 51 runs off 56 balls. However, he boasts a T20I strike rate of 139.22, holding him in good stead. With Rahul capable of scoring big runs, he is one to watch out for in the game.

Top All-rounder Pick

Axar Patel (30 matches, 30 wickets, Average: 22.47)

Axar Patel has been sensational over the last few matches, picking up nine wickets in four matches. While he has taken wickets for fun, Axar has an economy of less than seven in the format. With Axar doubling up as a viable batting option, he is a good pick for your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Kagiso Rabada (47 matches, 53 wickets, Average: 26.64)

Kagiso Rabada was South Africa's best bowler in the previous game, conceding only 16 runs in his four overs. He averages only 26.64 with the ball and has a brilliant record in Indian conditions. Given the conditions and his form, Rabada is a must-have in your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.

IND vs SA match captain and vice-captain choices

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram was the only batter in the South African top-six to reach double figures, scoring 25 runs. While his form bodes well, Markram had a good IPL season earlier in the year, scoring 381 runs at an average of 47.62. With Markram likely to bat at No. 4, he is a viable captaincy choice for your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been in good form since returning to action last month, scoring three fifties and a hundred in his last nine matches. Although he did not score many runs in the previous game, Kohli averages 32 against South Africa and should be a good captain or vice-captain pick for your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.

Virat Kohli	3663 runs in 100 innings
Arshdeep Singh	3/32 in the previous match

IND vs SA match expert tips (2nd T20I)

Tabraiz Shamsi does not have a great record against India, picking up only five wickets in 10 matches. He was a touch expensive in the previous game with Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul playing him with conviction. With the Indian middle order also featuring Rishabh Pant, Tabraiz Shamsi can be avoided for your IND vs SA Dream11 prediction team.
