Fantasy Tips of The Day
In the last 3 games, the spinners accounted for only 12 of 42 wickets – of which 8 belonged to the wrist-spinners.
Only 7 wickets have fallen in the powerplay. Given the late movement, the top order has been playing with caution, thereby laying solid foundations.
Smart Picks
Through regular contributions with both bat and ball (92 runs and 11 wickets), Bas de Leede has generated the maximum fantasy points (183.5) by a Netherlands player.
Anrich Nortje’s pace and bounce has caused plenty of problems for the opposition in this World Cup, owing to which he has bagged 10 wickets in only 4 games. Given his current rhythm, he could leave the Netherlands batters in tatters.
For the last 6 games in this tournament, Paul van Meekeren has been regularly striking with the ball. He has taken 10 wickets, including the best figures of 3 for 29 which came in the last encounter at Adelaide.
The roller coaster ride continues for Rilee Rossouw. Amidst two single-digit scores, he has also smashed two hundreds and one fifty in his last 5 T20Is.
Despite playing a risky brand of cricket, Max O’Dowd is the leading run-getter (213 at 36) for his side. In fact, he is the only player to slam 2 half-centuries for the Netherlands in this World Cup.
The Adelaide Oval has proven to be a batting paradise and Quinton de Kock doesn’t need any further invitation. He has been a part of the Ultimate Team twice for registering scores of 63 and 47*, to go with 5 dismissals with the gloves.
Regardless of how, where, and what he bowls, Lungi Ngidi finds ways to be amongst the wickets for South Africa. In this tournament, he has picked 7 in only 3 outings.

Form Concern
Although Temba Bavuma did manage 36 off 19 balls against Pakistan, his recent form has been dismal. He has been dismissed for a single-digit score 5 times in his 9 T20Is.
