Topmost Picks for SA vs IND Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Heinrich Klaasen – Klaasen has an excellent record against India in the shorter format, and he should continue to score runs against his preferred opposition in the coming matches.
• Keshav Maharaj – Keshav Maharaj is a deft left-arm spinner who does not give up runs and makes breakthroughs when it counts the most, particularly in the game's shortest format. Maharaj took one wicket in the last game against India.

Top Picks – India

• Sanju Samson – Samson is going to be in the spotlight once more as he tries to make that opening slot his own, which will give the management team a headache when choosing Shubman Gill & Yashasvi Jaiswal.
• Ravi Bishnoi – Bishnoi has a knack for taking wickets when his team is struggling. He took three wickets in the final T20I against South Africa. Given his form, he will be the best bowling option from the side. 

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for SA vs IND Dream11 Team:

Sanju Samson(C), Heinrich Klaasen(VC), Suryakumar Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, Hardik Pandya, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Arshdeep Singh

Nonetheless, South Africa will fight hard, and we are anticipating a close contest. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
