Winning every game is next to impossible. The best strategy is to back your analytical knowledge, minimise instincts, and play a sequence of 5-10 games to ensure you win more than you lose. Remember, losing is inevitable in fantasy sports. The best players look to maximise their best days and minimise bad days.
It will be a fascinating contest. Both teams have solid batting units, who will enjoy batting in St Lucia. However, South Africa’s bowling looks slightly stronger than England’s. That should be enough for SA to prevail.
