SUGGESTED BETS:
Player of the Match – Lungi Ngidi at 12.00
So far bowlers have taken all 3 of these awards in South African games and Ngidi has 2 of these. If South Africa bowl first there is every chance it goes to a bowler again and Ngidi is bowling with superb control.
Match Top Bat – Quinton De Kock at 5.00
You would have to fancy one of the SA openers here against a bowling attack that has really battled. De Kock has looked good without totally firing and I reckon he comes to the party here.
Any Player to Score 50 runs – NO at 9.50
This is speculative and relies on South Africa bowling 1st and skittling the UAE
