Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Cricket is a funny game and this edition of the MSL proves exactly why. The champions last season, Jozi Stars, are still struggling to find their feet in MSL 2019. Time and again, the team has been outdone and as a result, they lost four in four. The qualification scenario seems extremely difficult for them at the moment given their NRR isn’t great either. Under Temba Bavuma, batting has been the biggest concern for them.

They have been overreliant on a couple of players which isn’t great for any side. In their upcoming away game, they will be facing the Paarl Rocks. The Paarl Rocks haven’t tasted a defeat as yet. They managed to bag to highly impressive victories and will want to continue with their rich run of form.
