An interesting day's play unfolded between South Africa and Pakistan on Wednesday. Despite some spirited bowling, the Proteas are down for the count with the hosts' score reading 308 for 8, in reply to 220. While Fawad Alam stole the spotlight with his sensational century, he found an ally in Mohammad Rizwan, who registered a match score of 45.98 at the end of the second day. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje weren't able to build on from the opening day bursts with their prices dropping marginally. Ngidi, on the other hand, saw an increase of 2% given his two-wicket although there's more than just that to his credit after a tough day in the office. Nevertheless, Pakistan is on the verge of being bowled out, paving the way for the South Africans to overturn a big deficit. While the Proteas have the ammunition to fire big in this Test, their middle-order struggled to get going in the first innings. With the pitch behaving quite viciously, the onus will be on their more experienced players to deliver the goods. The onus will be on Faf du Plessis and captain Quinton de Kock but there's an equally experience yet underrated player in Rassie van der Dussen. Van der Dussen, who has become pivotal in South Africa's rebuilding phase, is currently trading at 50.50 Sixer Coins per Share but there's more to him than just his fantasy price. What is it that makes him a special talent? Here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Man for all occasions - van der Dussen up by 15.8% in his last six games for RSA!Although Rassie van der Dussen has only played a handful of games in the international circuit, his value to the South African set-up is immense. After grinding it out in the domestic circuit for nearly a decade, RVD finally got his chance when AB de Villiers decided to hang up his boots. Since then, Rassie van der Dussen has starred in all three formats although it is his recent form that truly sets him apart. While his increase over the last six games, including the ongoing Test, reads 15.8%, there's more to him. Resilient in defence and masterful in attack - van der Dussen's reading of the game is impeccable. Over his last six games, he has registered four-match scores of 50 and above for South Africa. One of them was a whirlwind fifty against England in the T20 format, earning him a massive rise of over 20%! Capable of playing the anchor role to perfection, Rassie is South Africa's trump card in the middle order, a position which many countries still have trouble filling at the moment.The South African would need Rassie van der Dussen to come to the fore on Day 3 with a huge deficit staring at their faces. However, it isn't as straightforward as said as he will face young Shaheen Afridi at some point in the game. The left armer, though still in his early 20s, is the leader of this bowling attack and has shown immense promise and maturity over the last year or so. Against such a dangerous bowler, who is averaging a match score above 50 in his last five Tests, Rassie would need to buckle down and ride the storm as South Africa eyes an improbable win in Karachi! No matter what the result of the Test would turn out to be, van der Dussen, whose stocks trade at 50.50 Sixer Coins, would ideally be a good addition to any fantasy portfolio!Carey and Lynn Top BBL Overall Charts - Fantasy Stock Price Increase of 54% and 43% respectively!The BBL playoffs are fast approaching, and with the league stage done and dusted, a few players stand out as the best additions to a fantasy portfolio! While there were several perfect match score performances, from Marcus Stoinis and Daniel Hughes, it was actually Alex Carey and Chris Lynn who topped the Market with absurd increases across the BBL. Alex Carey, who had a point to prove after a subdued summer of international cricket, saw a massive increase of 54%. As for Lynn, the Heat captain registered a 43% increase courtesy of a match score average of 69.33! While the likes of Jhye Richardson and Jason Roy from the Perth Scorchers also handed fantasy shareholders a stunning profit in excess of 20%, Carey and Lynn's exploits had the decisive say in the Market. It isn't over for them or the BBL just yet. With the BBL playoffs kicking off tomorrow, the race for fantasy stocks would be one to keep tabs on without fail!
