Probable Playing XI
Nelson Mandela Bay Giants:
In spite of a loss in their previous game, Nelson Mandela Bay Giants should persist with the same set of players. The likes of Jason Roy and JJ Smuts have already made a mark in MSL 2019 although much is expected from Ben Dunk at the top of the order. They have ample batting depth as well with Marco Marais and Chris Morris providing the impetus in the death overs. In Imran Tahir and Beuran Hendricks, they have two proven performers while Junior Dala is one to watch out for in this game.
Jason Roy, Ben Dunk, JJ Smuts, Heino Kuhn, Marco Marais, Ryan ten Doeschate, Chris Morris, Onke Nyaku, Imran Tahir, Beuran Hendricks and Junior Dala
Tshwane Spartans:
Tshwane Spartans could make a few changes to their side with Theunis de Bruyn and Lutho Sipamla underwhelming in the last few games. Tony de Zorzi could make his first appearance of the season at the top of the order with the likes of AB de Villiers and Heinrich Klaasen adding strength to the middle order. An additional spinner could help them out with Waqar Salamkheil adding variety to the attack. Corbin Bosch is another option with Wiaan Mulder also in the ranks as the sixth bowling option.
Theunis de Bruyn, Dean Elgar, AB de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen, Pite van Biljon, Wiaan Mulder, Roelof van der Merwe, Tom Curran, Morne Morkel, Lungi Ngidi and Corbin Bosch
Top Picks for Nelson Mandela Bay Giants vs Tshwane Spartans Dream11 Team:
AB de Villiers is in brilliant form for Tshwane Spartans with 184 runs in six games so far. With two fifties to his name already, de Villiers is bound to feature in most fantasy teams along with Jason Roy and JJ Smuts. Although Heinrich Klaasen and Ben Dunk are the more accomplished options in the wicket-keeper department, Pite van Biljon’s exceptional fifty against Cape Town Blitz gives him the nod for this game. Junior Dala and Imran Tahir have picked 21 wickets between themselves and look good for more while Morne Morkel’s ability to pick wickets in the middle overs bodes well.
