Aiden Markram

 

Aiden Markram has been in and out of form in this tournament but his all round skills always makes him an important player for South Africa. Markram did captaincy duty in the last match in absence of regular captain Temba Bavuma who missed the last match due to illness. Markram has scored 52 runs in one inning he gets to bat. He is an impactful player to have in your dream11 team for the SA vs NZ match. 

 

Marco Jansen

 

Marco Jansen is in sublime form with the ball in hand averaging 17.75 alongside a strike rate of 22.50 per match. Jansen has taken four wickets in the tournament, most by any South African bowler in the league. Marco Jansen hasn;t had a lot of opportunities with the bat but his batting ability is well known. In a high pressure match if the South African batting lineup collapses, Jansen can be a vital pick for your team.

 

Heinrich Klaasen

 

The hard-hitting batter and wicket-keeper, Heinrich Klaasen will be the top pick in this match for users. Klaasen is the most destructive batter in the modern day cricket with an career strike-rate of 117.35. Klassen missed the first two matches due to a minor injury but made a solid statement in the last match he played against England scoring 64 runs in just 56 balls scoring 11 fours. One can’t miss a player like Klaasen in his fantasy cricket team.

Rachin Ravindra

 

Rachin Ravindra was out of the team in the first match but with his return in the second match, he made an immediate impact in the match, scoring a match winning 112 runs, that too on his Champions Trophy debut. However, Rachin failed to get going in the second match against India and scored only 6 but did a great job with his spin bowling, picking up a vital wicket of Axar Patel. His batting in the top order and few overs here and there will keep the points ticking in your dream11 teams. 

 

Kane Williamson

 

Kane Williamson is the best batter in New Zealand’s squad with an average of 48.79 in ODIs. Williamson has scored 7123 ODI runs in just 163 innings with 14 hundreds. Kane took the game away from India in the last match with his inning of 81 runs. Williamson has been scoring well in the high stake matches in ICC tournaments. He will gain points with his run-a-ball innings and fielding to keep the points ticking in your Dream11 teams.

 

Matt Henry

 

Matt Henry is the highest wicket taker in the tournament with eight wickets in his bag with an average of 15.50. Matt Henry has been in exceptional form in the 2023-24 season and has maintained his position in the team. Henry was out of action for a long time due to a series of injuries but came back even stronger in the white ball format. Henry will be an important pick to have in your dream11 teams for the SA vs NZ Champions Trophy match.

Michael Bracewell

7.5

Daryl Mitchell

7.0

Michael Bracewell

 

Michael Bracewell’s credit in dream11 is only 7.5 which is undervalued and ignored by a lot of users but his potential to do well in a match against South Africa is very high. South Africa have two left handers in top four in Ryan Rickleton and David Miller, against them, Bracewell’s off spin will be very effective and his batting ability is still unutilized properly. Bracewell started his career as a batter and is still a handy batter who can give you a good amount of points in this match.

 

Daryl Mitchell

 

Daryl Mitchell is a way better batsman than his numbers on dream11 reflects i.e. a total of 43 points in two games. Mitchell is out of form in 2024 but he is a big match player and we have seen in the 2021 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI world cup 2023 where he scored 72 and 134 respectively. He is an excellent pick for your dream11 team in this match.

South Africa vs New Zealand Dream11 Prediction: Avoid Players

Lungi Ngidi

7.5

Keshav Maharaj

8.0

128

Lungi Ngidi

 

Lungi Ngidi has looked in good touch since his departure from Chennai Super Kings in 2021. The pitch at Lahore does not offer much for the bowlers and he is out of rhythm currently which makes him a player to take a risk to sideline. 

 

Keshav Maharaj

 

Keshav Maharaj is a left arm orthodox bowler and to counter his bowling, New Zealand have a solid squad of players who play spin well. New Zealand batter has vast experience of playing in sub continent conditions and on a pitch like Lahore, one can take a punt on leaving Maharaj from dream11 team.
