In the last match he played at Durban, he looked good as he hammered 21 off just 11 ball with the help of 3 fours and 1 six. He is likely to put up a good score in the game against Pakistan. Mohammad Rizwan | WK | PAK: One of the linch-pin of Pakistan's batting line-up, Rizwan, is a must have player in your fantasy team. The skipper of Pakistan has amassed 3329 runs in just 91 T20I innings. In 11 innings against South Africa, Rizwan has scored 377 runs and he is expected to add more runs in this tally. Top Batters to Pick David Miller | BAT | SA: The South African southpaw is known for his ability to finish the games. In his T20I career, he has accumulated 2509 at a strike rate of 139.23. Also, in the last 3 matches played by Miller at this venue, he has played a total of 92 runs. It won't be a right option to leave him out of your fantasy team. Babar Azam | BAT | PAK: With 4192 runsn in 117 T20I innings, Babar is just 39 runs away from being the leading run-scorer in this format of the game and he can reach this milestone in the 1st T20I against T20I.

He can disturb the batters with his medium pace bowling and can also come handy with the bat if required. Saim Ayub | AR | PAK: Ayub has already displayed his ability in the limited-overs of the game. In the last 2 T20Is against Zimbabwe, the all-rounder has scored 60 runs. He can also roll his arms if the condition favours. Hence, he should make a cut in your fantasy team.

The right-arm pacer has played just one T20I against Pakistan in which he has dismissed 4 batters of the Asian team. He is likely to repeat a similar kind of performance in the next game.
