2020 CWC League 2 – NAM vs UAE Fantasy Preview

After a successful leg in UAE last month, the ICC World Cup Division 2 2019-22 tournament now moves to Oman and we’ve already had a game completed as the home team got past United Arab Emirates. In fact UAE hasn’t been able to kick of their campaign in this tournament at all, with 1 win in 5 games now after today’s opening loss to Oman, being unable to defend 170.

Now, UAE will be up against Namibia in Match 2 of the tournament and they’ve had 3 wins in 4 games so far in this competition. Namibia will be on a high after recently also recently qualifying to the ICC T20 World Cup later this year in 2020.

Numbers

  • Gerhard Erasmus – 3 fifties in last 5 T20Is for Namibia.
  • JP Kotze – 5 single-digit scores in last 10 matches.
  • Ahmed Raza – wicketless only once in last 10 games.
  • Zahoor Khan – only 6 wickets in his last 10 professional games.

Namibia

Zhivago Groenewald has been their leading wicket taker with 11 wickets in 4 games in the League 2 competition, but he’s not a part of the current squad. They are being led by Gerhard Erasmus who has been in fantastic form in recent months, while he bowls once in a way too. With 17 wickets in his last 10 professional games, left-arm spinner Bernard Scholtz is a vital pick for your fantasy side too.

At the top of the order, JP Kotze becomes a good option even though he hasn’t been in the best of touch in recent months. In this tournament though, he has good scores, including 221 runs in 4 games. South African born bowling all-rounder Jan Frylinck has 17 wickets in his last 10 professional games and he can hold his own with this bat as and when required too, so I’m picking him in my NAM vs UAE fantasy team.

UAE

The most talented player in this team has to be the former captain Rohan Mustafa who is among the best all-rounders in the world, now coming off a successful stint at the Pokhara Premier League. In his last 10 games, Mustafa hit 3 fifties and bagged 14 wickets and e can easily be your fantasy team captain. Talking about wickets, current captain is regularly among them, that’s why you should pick Ahmed Raza too.

With the bat, Muhammad Usman should be in your DuggOut (sign-up to get Rs.50 FREE) fantasy team because he scored 59* against USA last month and today, top scored with 68 against Oman too. One player who often goes unnoticed is Chirag Suri because he hasn’t been scoring frequently enough. 67 against a good Scotland bowling attack last month should speak a lot about this youngster’s batting talent.
