Fantasy Tips of The Day
Tristan Stubbs loves batting at Gqeberha. In 11 innings, he has added 354 runs, including the highest score of 80*.
Besides taking 27 wickets, JJ Smuts has accumulated 875 runs, including 6 fifties at St George’s Park. In fact, he started the tournament with 66 off 51 at this very venue.
Barring the last game, Aiden Markram is the only player from Eastern Cape to feature in the Ultimate Team on every other occasion.
Quinton de Kock has blown hot and cold with 2 fifties and 3 failures. However, his impact at the top hasn’t allowed his selection percentage to drop below 89.
Batters have been able to express themselves freely at the venue, owing to which 4 half-centuries and as many 40s have been registered in the first 3 matches.
Shorter square boundaries have been a great boon. 117 boundaries have already been smashed in the first three games at Gqeberha.
