Fantasy Tips of The Day
Quinton de Kock makes a powerful impact in fantasy leagues with both bat and gloves at The Wanderers Stadium. In nine outings, he has hit 484 runs at 54 including bonus points for 68 boundaries and inflicted 15 dismissals.
Every time Kagiso Rabada has bowled in an ODI at the venue, he has generated at least 50 points. His overall numbers read 17 wickets at a strike rate of 24 in a mere eight outings.
Scott Edwards has been the top run-scorer for the Netherlands since 2022. His 701 runs have come at an impressive average of 41.
Tom Cooper scored four fifties and made it to the Best11 as many times in his last five ODIs.
Aiden Markram has been busy in all disciplines of late. He scored 177 runs at 44, took three wickets, pouched a catch, and inflicted a run out in his last five ODIs.
In his six-ODI career, Shariz Ahmad starred in the Best11 four times. He has a top score of 30 and a five-wicket haul to his name.
Max O’Dowd’s average shoots up to 46 in the second innings compared to his first innings average of 30. Both numbers, nonetheless, are effective in fantasy cricket.
In seven ODIs as an opener, Temba Bavuma has scored 575 runs at an average of 82.
67% of the wickets belonged to pacers in the last three games at the venue.
