Wicketkeeper

When it comes to donning the wicketkeeping gloves, there are few better players than Ryan Rickelton. The fact that he’s also an incredible batter makes him a convincing choice for your fantasy team. Rickelton scored a brilliant half-century in the opening CSA T20 Cup fixture against Western Province and could prove to be an excellent captaincy choice for your NCH vs LIO Dream11 fantasy team.

Batsman

E Jones is known to bide his time in the middle before unleashing the big shots. And it’s hard to stop him once he gets going. In addition to scoring 34 runs in the first match, Jones contributed with the ball as well, picking up a wicket.

All-rounder

All-rounders are extremely crucial in the T20 format and Sisanda Magala has been at the top of his game lately. He scored 23 runs and took a wicket in the first CSA T20 Cup match.
