Quinton de Kock SA | WK
He became the first Proteas batter to score more than 500 runs in an edition of the ODI World Cup this year. He is just 82 runs away from matching Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most runs in an edition. De Kock has scored 591 runs in nine games at an average of 65.66 and a strike rate of 109.24.
Glenn Maxwell AUS | ALL
He is definitely going to make a comeback in the playing 11 in this important. Maxwell has scored 397 runs in seven games at an average of 79.40 and a strike rate of 152.69. He has five wickets as well to his name.
David Warner AUS | BAT
He is the leading run-scorer for Australia so far and has scored 499 runs in nine games at an average of 55.44 and a strike rate of 105.49.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Marcus Stoinis
AUS | BAT
He is likely not to find a place in the playing 11 in this game and hence, should not be in the fantasy teams as well.
Temba Bavuma
SA | BAT
He has failed to score more than 25 runs for the Proteas in his last five outings and might not be the best pick for your fantasy teams.
