Transfers

Transfers Made: 4 | Transfers Remaining: 43

1) Babar Azam (BAT) (PAK) (10.5 Credits) - OUT | Hardik Pandya (ALL) (IND) (9.5 Credits) - IN

2) Haris Rauf (BOWL) (PAK) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Virat Kohli (BAT) (IND) (10.5 Credits) - IN

3) Mohammad Wasim (BOWL) (PAK) (7.5 Credits) - OUT| Rilee Rossouw (BAT) (SA) (8.5 Credits) - IN

4) Naseem Shah (BOWL) (PAK) (8.5 Credits) - OUT | Anrich Nortje (BOWL) (SA) (8 Credits) - IN

I'm not sure which way this game will go, but it's going be an exciting one. All the four players transferred out are from Pakistan. As South Africa take on Pakistan in M-24, any players I retain for that game will be from the Proteas.

As for the transfers in, Hardik Pandya's selection is self-explanatory. Virat Kohli is looking in good nick, scoring back-to-back half centuries. While we're unlikely to see an explosive knock, he should bat smartly and get himself another substantial score.

Both Anrich Nortje and Riley Rossouw were brilliant against Bangladesh, picking up a 4-wicket haul and scoring a hundred, respectively. That confidence and form could give them the edge over India.

T20 World Cup Fantasy 2022 - Best Fantasy XI for Super 12: Match 18- IND vs SA: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips

Best T20 WC Fantasy team for Super 12: Match 18 - IND vs SA

Players playing in Match 18 (S12): Anrich Nortje (BOWL) (SA) (8 Credits), Hardik Pandya (ALL) (IND) (9.5 Credits), Rilee Rossouw (BAT) (SA) (8.5 Credits), Virat Kohli (BAT) (IND) (10.5 Credits), and KL Rahul (BAT) (IND) (9.5 Credits)

It's pretty difficult selecting a team two games in advance without knowing about any changes that may take place in those games. I have a feeling I might end up going with a slightly different team than this one, with a couple of changes before the deadline.

Nevertheless, for the time being, this is a side I'm satisfied with. I want to get Tabraiz Shamsi as a punt, but I'm unsure if I should sell one of Trent Boult or Tim Southee to get him.

As for captaincy, I don't think I'm brave enough to hand it to KL Rahul once more, as the others are quality captaincy picks.
