RSA VS BAN: Dream 11 Top Picks
Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan has been one of the world’s leading all-rounders. The seasoned campaigner is a bona fide gamechanger both with the bat and ball. His blitzkrieg of 77 runs off 64 deliveries in the 1st ODI was instrumental in taking Bangladesh’s total beyond 300. Shakib Al Hasan will be key for Bangladesh as they look forward to winning their maiden series in the rainbow nation.
Kagiso Rabada
The Proteas speedster was adjudged the Player Of the Match of the 2nd ODI for his match-winning 5 wicket haul in Johannesburg. Rabada is amongst the best pacers of his generation, and will surely be a lethal threat to the Bangla Tigers in Centurion.
Rassie Van der Dussen
The 33-year-old flamboyant batter has been a breakthrough for the Proteas middle-order. Despite his gritty knock of 86 runs off 98 deliveries in Centurion coming in a losing cause, van Der Dussen is in blistering form with the bat. Bavuma and his brigade will surely bank on him in the series finale.

Who will Win ?- Match Prediction
South Africa will surely have an upper hand in their home conditions. The Proteas batting order fired in the last match with the likes of Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma chipping in with stellar knocks. Kagiso Rabada will be spearheading the pace attack, as Bangladesh will be up against a fierce challenge in the series decider. However, the Bangla Tigers will be confident to be back in Centurion where they won the 1st match. Tamim Iqbal and his troops will be raring to script history in the rainbow nation, and therefore it will be a big mistake to completely rule them out. The 3rd ODI is set to be a cracking clash and all eyes will be on the hosts of whether they will be successful in protecting their fortress.
