The second MSL game on Sunday pits the Tshwane Spartans against Jozi Stars in one of the most awaited clashes in the tournament. The defending champions have found it tough this year with five losses in five games. On the other hand, Tshwane Spartans are yet to lose a game with the likes of Dean Elgar and Lungi Ngidi putting in admirable shifts with bat and ball respectively.
With time running out for the Jozi Stars, they will bank on Chris Gayle and Reeza Hendricks to fire them to what be their first win of MSL 2019. Here are a few tips to help you pick your Dream11 team for JOZ vs TST.
Squads to choose from:
Jozi Stars:
Temba Bavuma (C), Reeza Hendricks, Chris Gayle, Rassie van der Dussen, Kagiso Rabada, Daniel Christian, Simon Harmer, Ryan Rickelton, Sinethemba Qeshile, Aaron Phangiso, Duanne Olivier, Delano Potgieter, Dane Paterson, Nono Pongolo, Lizaad Williams.
Tshwane Spartans:
Heinrich Klaasen C), AB de Villiers, Tom Curran, Morne Morkel, Lungi Ngidi, Theunis de Bruyn, Roelof van der Merwe, Lutho Sipamla, Pite van Biljon, Tony de Zorzi, Waqar Salamkheil, Dean Elgar, Wiaan Mulder, Vaughn van Jaarsveld, Corbin Bosch, Donavon Ferreira
Playing XI Updates:
Jozi Stars:
Jozi Stars' campaign is in danger with the defending champions yet to register a point in MSL 2019. Although Reeza Hendricks has scored over 200 runs this season, Chris Gayle and Rassie van der Dussen's inability to put in a sizeable combination has hurt them dearly. Daniel Christian and Simon Harmer will be crucial in the lower middle order while much is expected of Kagiso Rabada with the ball in hand. Duanne Olivier is expected to keep his place in the side with a few wickets to show for his efforts as well in the previous game.
Possible XI: Hendricks, Gayle, Bavuma(C), Dussen, Christian, Qeshile(WK), Rickelton/Paterson, Shamsi, Fortuin, Rabada and Olivier
Tshwane Spartans:
No changes are expected from the Spartans with their previous game being washed out. Dean Elgar has already hit two fifties at the top of the order with Heinrich Klaasen and Theunis de Bruyn also amongst the runs. Nevertheless, they haven't seen the best of AB de Villiers yet with the former South African international looking to tee off. Their bowling unit is in fine form with a lot of experience and raw pace on offer from the likes of Lungi Ngidi and Morne Morkel.
Possible XI: Elgar, de Bruyn, de Villiers, Klaasen(C&WK), van Biljon, van der Merwe, Mulder, Curran, Ngidi, Sipamla and Morkel
Match Details:
Jozi Stars vs Tshwane Spartans, Match 16
24th November 2019, 5:30 PM IST
Wanderers, Johannesburg
Pitch Report:
A belter of a pitch is on offer on Sunday for this game with scores over 170 being a given. With the dimensions of the ground also being relatively small, spinners might not enjoy bowling here although flight could be a weapon they can use to tempt the batsmen. Chasing would be the preferred option with there being no rain on the forecast.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions:
Wicket-keeper: Heinrich Klaasen should get the nod over Sinethemba Qeshile with the former RCB and RR keeper in decent form for the Tshwane Spartans. Qeshile has done well for the Stars and could be picked in order to facilitate the selection of better players in other departments of the fantasy team.
Batsmen: Reeza Hendricks is the leading runscorer in MSL 2019 and looks to be a dependable option as well. Along with the likes of Chris Gayle and Dean Elgar, he is a viable candidate in this game. Another must have in the side would be AB de Villiers, who is arguably the best batsman in the league. Theunis de Bruyn is also in decent form and could earn a few fantasy points as well.
Allrounders: Daniel Christian and Roelof van der Merwe are the preferred candidates with both individuals having a lot of experience under their belt. While Wiaan Mulder could also be opted in this team, the presence of Christian and van der Merwe should suffice for this match.
Bowlers: Kagiso Rabada hasn't fully fired for the Stars and would be hoping to make amends on Sunday. He is a viable option along with the likes of Tom Curran and Lungi Ngidi. While Lutho Sipamla is also capable of picking a few wickets, Duanne Olivier should get the nod with the Yorkshire pacer picking a few wickets in his previous game.
Captain: AB de Villiers and Daniel Christian are the first choice for the captaincy with their experience coming in to play. While AB de Villiers' talent is undeniable, Daniel Christian's all-round performances could be critical to Jozi Stars' fortunes. Another viable option would be Reeza Hendricks, whose form holds him in good stead.
Fantasy Suggestion #1: Heinrich Klaasen, AB de Villiers, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Theunis de Bruyn, Daniel Christian, Roelof van der Merwe, Tom Curran, Kagiso Rabada, Duanne Olivier and Morne Morkel. Captain: AB de Villiers, Vice-Captain: Reeza Hendricks
Fantasy Suggestion #2: Sinethemba Qeshile, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, Reeza Hendricks, Dean Elgar, Daniel Christian, Roelof van der Merwe, Lungi Ngidi, Morne Morkel, Aaron Phangiso and Kagiso Rabada. Captain: Daniel Christian, Vice-Captain: AB de Villiers
