SA-C vs AUS-C: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keeper: Ben Dunk
· Batters: AB de Villiers (Captain), Chris Lynn, Hashim Amla
· All-rounders: Darcy Short (Vice captain), Dan Christian, Jon Jon Smuts. JP Duminy, Wayne Parnell
· Bowlers: Peter Siddle, Aaron Phangiso
Dream11 Prediction: After considering the current form and performance, South Africa Champions are looking like a more settled side. Largely, it's the way De Villiers has batted and has scored 305 runs in four innings. The 75-run all-out in the last game must have broken the confidence for Australia. They failed with the bat, which has been their story this season.
Their batters have not been able to adjust to the pace which is demanded. But they still have players who can perform well. But as of now, South Africa Champions will start this game as firm favorites.
