What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for DUR vs JOH, SA T20 League 2023, Match 2?

Top Pick – Batter

Janneman Malan has already proved his mark in the ODIs for South Africa. His performances in this tournament will surely matter for him to get back to the National T20 side. In his 75 T20s, he has scored 2112 runs at an average of 30.6 with the highest score of 128*.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Dwaine Pretorius announced a shocking retirement from International cricket on Monday to concentrate more on franchise cricket across the globe. He is a match-winner who has 140 wickets and 2328 runs to his name in 183 T20s.

Top Pick – Bowler

Reece Topley uses his height to a greater extent and the surfaces here in South Africa will be ideal for him to bowl. He has picked up 168 wickets in 131 T20s with the best figures of 4 for 20.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Quinton de Kock is a fearless batter at the top of the order. He always wants to make a statement from the start. It’s hard to get rid of him when he is in form.

X-Factor:

Heinrich Klaasen picks the right balls to score runs. He is someone who gives his best under pressure. In 131 T20s, he scored 2489 runs at an average of 28.6, including 14 half-centuries.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for DUR vs JOH, SA T20 League 2023, Match 2?

1. Quinton de Kock (vc), Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks (c), Faf du Plessis, Janneman Malan, Lewis Gregory, Dwaine Pretorius, Jason Holder, Simon Harmer, Reece Topley, Alzarri Joseph

2. Heinrich Klaasen (vc), Reeza Hendricks, Faf du Plessis, Kyle Mayers, Janneman Malan (c), Dwaine Pretorius, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Reece Topley, Alzarri Joseph, Gerald Coetzee

Pre-Match Analysis:

Durban Super Giants are excited to get started the tournament with a win. It’s challenging for skipper Quinton de Kock to maneuver the players who have got different skill sets. They have a good bunch of all-rounders in their mix with the likes of Jason Holder, Wiaan Mulder, and Dwaine Pretorius. They’re a little short in terms of their batting depth which enforces additional pressure on Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen. Overseas tall fast bowler Reece Topley will bolster the bowling attack. It’s a selection headache for the management whether to go with the full 4 overseas players or provide opportunities for the local talents.

Johannesburg Super Kings are relatively a bowling-heavy side that includes notable names Alzarri Joseph, Lizaad Williams, Gerald Coetzee, and Aaron Phangiso. Overseas all-rounders Lewis Gregory and Romario Shepherd provide more balance to the side with their all-round prowess. Harry Brook’s late withdrawal from the tournament citing workload management is a huge blow heading into the 1st game. Although they have Faf du Plessis who can single-handedly win matches for the side. Janneman Malan will be the main man to watch out for.
