Grand League Punts
> Rassie van der Dussen has great numbers against spin overall. He’s averaging 64.88 with a strike rate of 93.4. Even in this World Cup, he already has notched up a hundred in the last game. However, don't believe in his record blindly. in India, he just averages 25.67 against spin. Moreover, in this World Cup, he has got out two times to Left-arm spinners. Jadeja vs Rassie could potentially be another battle that could shape up the contest.
> Kuldeep Yadav averages the best against South Africa (16.2) amongst all teams and has some great memories of nullifying the threat of their batters with his turn. Moreover, he has also dismissed Aiden Markram three times out of the five that they have faced each other. So don't be over-excited by the runs Markram has scored this World Cup. He is up against a dangerous nemesis tomorrow.
