Nostragamus: ICC World Cup Div 2 – USA vs PNG Fantasy Preview

USA recently managed to kick off their first ever home series for an ODI series, hosting Namibia and PNG for a series of 4 ODIs, where the hosts would play all four and the others would play two games each, alternatively. So far, two games are done in this series and USA has managed to end victorious in both, beating PNG by 5 runs and then beating Scotland by 5 wickets.

In Match 3 of this World Cricket League Division 2 series, United States plays Papua New Guinea. PNG has ODI status and they have been rising quick, so you shouldn’t count them out in today’s encounter, even though they are the visiting side.

Stats

  • Head to head in ODIs, these teams are tied 1-1.
  • 8 ODIs have been played here and 5 have been won batting second.
  • Karima Gore – 5 wickets in last 2 games this series.
  • USA – won 2 of their 2 previous ODIs here.
  • Nosaina Pokana – 9 wickets in 5 games in the WCL Div 2 2019.

USA

With the ball, Karima Gore has become a vital part of the USA cricket squad, picking up 5 in 2 games here, while also picking 10 wickets in 4 games in Bermuda recently. It has been 6 games since the last time he went wicketless and has also scored 3 and 31 runs in his two game here so far. Pick him for sure. Another person who I knew leave out of my team when USA plays is Steven Taylor who does well with the bat if he fails with the ball or vice versa.

Taylor has grown as a cricket after being included in leagues like the CPL. Here, he has 4 wickets in 2 games and scores of 9 and 43. He only managed 1 wicket in 4 games in Bermuda with a best of 56* but we can be destructive on his day. Pick him as your captain or vice-captain. Xavier Marshall has had a quiet couple of games with scores of 13 and 6 so far. In fact, the last time he got past 50 was 10 games ago with a 100 against Hong Kong. He won’t be very popular in fantasy leagues, so pick him too.

PNG

Taylor is to USA what Assad Vala is to PNG, contributing with the bat and ball both, and that’s why he’s in my Nostragamus (sign-up with “READSCOOPS” for Rs.100 FREE) fantasy picks today. Vala scored 48 in the last game vs USA and has 6 wickets in 5 games in the ICC WCL Div 2 so far. He is also their top scorer with the bat in the competition after 5 games, so there’s no way you can leave him out of your fantasy team.

Another consistent performer at the top of the order with the bat is Tony Ura. He has 3 international fifties in the last couple of months against Vanuatu, Samoa and Oman. He failed in the last game with a score of 1 but has 135 runs in 5 games in the WCL Div 2 so far. Charles Amini is another great all-round option, having top scored with 53 in the last game vs USA while also picking up a 3-fer in a game before that against Oman.
