AUS vs SA, Match 10: Top Player Picks
Quinton de Kock (SA)
- The South African wicket-keeper has started the World Cup with a fiery knock against Sri Lanka. De Kock is a good player of spin and pace, which is a fair indicator that he might carry his excellent form in this match.
Aiden Markram (SA)
- The pitch at the Lucknow stadium is expected to suit the batters. In that case, Markram, a middle-order batter who plays spin well, will be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
Steve Smith (AUS)
- On a slowish Chennai track, Steve Smith looked the most accomplished of the Australian batters against India in the first match. Being in decent form and a good spin player, Smith will be the most important pick from the Australian team.
David Warner (AUS)
- The Australian superstar looked in good touch in the match against India. Even on a wicket, where run scoring was difficult, Warner kept his calm and found his way through. So, he will be crucial pick in this game too

It will be a new wicket at Lucknow, and we can expect it to be good for batting. With the dew expected to set in and the nature of the wicket unknown to the players, the team winning the toss might look to field first and having more impact batters from the chasing team might be a good idea. A 2-5-2-3 or a 1-6-3-2 combination could be rewarding in this match.
