Fantasy Tips of The Day
Faf du Plessis loves batting at Johannesburg. In 17 games, he has accumulated 668 runs at 48, including the highest score of 119.
For the tournament, Jos Buttler has featured in the Ultimate Team on 6 out of 8 occasions. When he last batted at The Wanderers, he smashed 54 off 28.
When these teams met earlier in the competition, Bjorn Fortuin (3 for 16) and Evan Jones (3 for 21) were the captain and vice-captain of the Ultimate Team respectively.
Jason Roy hasn’t tasted any success in the league. After 8 games, he averages only 11.
One century and 4 fifties have been registered in the last 3 games at The Wanderers.
In the same period, there have been 6 three-wicket hauls at the venue. Interestingly, it is equally split between the spinners and seamers.
Given the high altitude at Johannesburg, an average of 6 sixes per innings have been launched in the last 3 matches.
