🧩 South Africa A Key Notes:
Top Batters: Z Hamza & J Hermann anchor the lineup
All-Rounders: T van Vuuren (171 FP) could be a game-changer if picked
Main Bowlers: Moreki & Sipamla – consistent wicket-takers
WK options: R Hermann slightly ahead of Moonsamy
Powerplay & End-Spell Impact (red-ball lens)
New ball (overs 1–20): A Kamboj (IN-A), T Moreki (SA-A) – best chance for early 3-fors.
Middle to late (spin/control): T Kotian (IN-A) – long, economical spells + lower-order runs. P Subrayen (SA-A) can control one end.
Second new ball / reverse: K Ahmed (IN-A) has shown impact spikes (103, 91 type games).
MVP Picks (C/VC Candidates)
Tushar Kotian (IN-A, AR) – dual points (bat depth + long spells); huge last H2H (264).
Dhruv Jurel (IN-A, WK) – elite consistency, heavy involvement every innings.
Zubayr Hamza (SA-A, BAT) – SA-A batting anchor; safer SA-A top pick.
Aman Kamboj (IN-A, BOW) – strike bowler with recent hauls.
Differential Picks
Jade Hermann (SA-A, BAT): steady FP (~111 avg in 4), often overlooked.
Tony Moreki (SA-A, BOW): burst wicket-taker; great in seamer-friendly phases.
Devdutt Padikkal (IN-A, BAT): volatile but match-winning ceilings.
A Mhatre (IN-A, BAT): fresh spike (143) in H2H – punt if selected.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Subject to XIs)
Formation: 1–4–2–4 (WK–BAT–AR–BOW)
WK (1): D Jurel (R Pant if confirmed > Jurel; you can also go 2 WKs in GLs)
BAT (4): S Sudharsan, R Patidar, D Padikkal, Z Hamza
AR (2): T Kotian (C), A Badoni (monitor role; venue friendly)
BOW (4): A Kamboj (VC), M Suthar, T Moreki, K Ahmed
Bench/Swap if XIs demand: P Subrayen (SA-A), J Hermann (BAT), L Sipamla (BOW)
Captain: T Kotian | Vice-Captain: A Kamboj
Alt C/VC: D Jurel / Z Hamza
Conditional Strategy & Final Tips
If IND-A bat first: Load up on top-order IND-A batters (Sudharsan, Patidar/Padikkal) + Kotian for bat + bowl. Keep 2–3 IND-A bowlers for Day 2 new-ball damage.
If SA-A bat first: Prioritize IND-A seamers (Kamboj, K Ahmed) and one spinner (Kotian). Pair with Hamza + Hermann from SA-A.
If pitch looks drier on toss: Upgrade a spinner (M Suthar / P Subrayen) over a seamer.
GL Punts: Moreki (burst), Padikkal (ceiling), A Mhatre if named.
