SA vs ENG 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction and Preview 

This will be second match of the four match Test series. Both the teams have been below par so far but the better among two was undoubtedly the Proteas. England had a realistic chance of winning the first game and setting up the tone for the rest of the series but Joe Root sold his team down the river by choosing to bowl instead of batting first. Also the English batsman falling in heaps has not helped their cause either. Only Sam Curran and Jofra Archer have impressed so far on this tour and England lost the service of Woakes, Pope due to sickness and many others who played the game too were sick which might have hampered their chances of winning the game. Most of them have recovered but Archer is doubtful for this game. On the other hand, Rabada, Nortje and Philander have done a fantastic job for the Proteas with the ball. Nortje who came in as a nightwatchman mustered 40 runs to add to the Englishmen’s woes and picked the key wickets of set Rory Burns and Root with the ball in the 4th innings. If the top order provides some kind of support to the middle and lower order South Africa should cruise past England. South Africa are the clear favorites to win this match.

Dream11 Fantasy Picks for SA vs ENG 2nd Test

South Africa :
Dean Elgar who is known for his grit under tough conditions will be a key player for the Africans and he hasn’t been amongst runs off late which makes him a good pick.
Quinton de Kock once again did what he has been doing all his life at 6 scoring 129 runs counter attacking the staunch English attack.

England :
Ben Stokes is in the form of his life and infact this is the venue where the ace all rounder made his career best score of 258. He did not bowl much due to sickness in the first game and will bowl a lot more in this game.
Sam Curran the kid with a golden arm once again impressed everyone and made a strong statement by picking up wickets when ever he was brought in to bowl a spell be it the first change or in the middle . He can also contribute with the bat down the order.

1. Joe Root
