What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for AUS vs SA, 3rd Test?

Top Pick – Batter

David Warner proved why he is the best opening batter in world cricket. One good knock is enough for a world-class cricketer like him to return to his best forms. He scored 200 in the 2nd Test from just 255 balls.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Marco Jansen is developing as a cricketer from game to game. In 2 matches in this series, he has scalped 4 wickets and scored 66 runs with the highest score of 59.

Top Pick – Bowler

Spin wizard Nathan Lyon has got great variations and picks wickets with his experience. He has scalped 8 wickets in 2 matches in this series with the best figures of 3 for 14.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Kyle Verreynne is the leading run-scorer for South Africa in this series. In 4 innings, he has collected 149 runs at an average of 37.25 with the highest score of 64.

X-Factor:

Steven Smith’s well-made knock of 85 in the 2nd Test was overshadowed by a double century from David Warner. The former has scored 127 runs in 3 innings in this series at an average of 42.33.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for AUS vs SA, 3rd Test?

1. Kyle Verreynne, David Warner, Steven Smith (c), Temba Bavuma, Sarel Erwee, Travis Head, Marco Jansen, Nathan Lyon (vc), Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, Kagiso Rabada

2. Alex Carey, Kyle Verreynne, David Warner (vc), Steven Smith, Usman Khawaja, Temba Bavuma, Marnus Labuschagne (c), Marco Jansen, Nathan Lyon, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje

Pre-Match Analysis:

It didn’t take long for Australia to wrap up the 2nd Test as they completed an innings and 182 runs win inside 4 days to go 2-0 up in the series and strengthen their position at the top of the ICC World Test Championship standings. David Warner returned to the form with a sizzling double century and Alex Carey scored his maiden Test century to put Australia upfront in the 1st innings. Cameron Green who played a decisive role in the 2nd Test will miss the final Test due to a broken finger so as Mitchell Starc. Runs are dried up for Marnus Labuschagne in this series since he managed to score only 30 runs across 3 innings. Pat Cummins has been spot-on with his captaincy skills by rotating his bowlers pretty well. Ashton Agar will replace Cameron Green and Josh Hazlewood will come in place of Mitchell Starc.

South Africa’s batting woes continue in this series as they crumbled for 189 and 204 in the 1st and 2nd innings respectively in the 2nd Test. They did a good work to recover from 67 for 5 in the 1st innings and went on to make 189. Yet another abysmal batting show in the 2nd innings cost the series for the visitors. Kyle Verreynne has shown a lot of maturity as a batter and scored 2 half-centuries in his last 4 innings. Kagiso Rabada has picked up 10 wickets which is the most in this series. They need to do a lot of homework if they want to avoid a whitewash. Simon Harmer might come in place of underperformed Lungi Ngidi.
