Top 3 Captain and Vice-Captain Choices For PC vs JSK
1. Will Jacks
Will Jacks is an excellent fantasy captain choice due to his red-hot recent form and capabilities with both the bat and the ball. With a solid batting average of 28.50 and a strike rate of 127.61, he has consistently contributed with the bat, including a standout 56 against Pretoria Capitals. Additionally, his ability to bowl effectively, as seen in his 2-18 performance against Sunrisers, allows him to provide points with both bat and ball, making him a versatile and high-impact selection for fantasy teams.
2. Faf du Plessis
While the JSK skipper hasn't provided much with the bat for his team, the upcoming fixture might set things right for him. Faf du Plessis has been resilient in the matches and has shown his ability to anchor innings with a strike rate of 135.71 scoring key runs, including a match-winning 61 against MI Cape Town. He couldn't fire against SEC in his last outing and will be hungry for a big score. With the SuperSport Park pitch probing high scores, Faf can rack big fantasy points if he stays long enough on the crease.
3. Hardus Viljoen
The South African cricketer, Hardus Viljoen is popular amongst the domestic circuit where he bagged 511 wickets in First Class matches with 28 5-wicket hauls. The 35-year-old has much experience in the Proteas grounds and will be a key bowler for the Joburg Super Kings. He recently also scalped 4-24 against SEC in his last outing proving his lethality. Hence, he can be a good choice as he can offer good fantasy points by racking up solid fantasy points in crucial moments.
