It hasn’t been the best of starts for Maldives in the 2019 South Asian Games and that’s not much of a surprise because they are the lowest ranked side in the competition. They conceded a massive 109-run loss to BAN U-23 and then saw a similar result against SL U-23, who batted first and posted a massive 192, after which Maldives registered 2 losses in 2 games.
Now, they have another opportunity to open their account, playing the hosts Nepal in Match 7 of the competition. Nepal had a last over loss in the opening game to SL U-23 but then they hit back hard to secure a massive victory over Bhutan, now with 1 win in 2 games.

Maldives
For Maldives with the ball, only two bowlers have managed a wicket in both games so far. One of them is Azyan Farhath who has 5 wickets in 6 games for Maldives so far. The other is captain Mohamed Mahfooz who has 2 wickets in 2 games here, but also a total of 9 scalps in his last 10 games for Maldives.The 32-year old is one of their most experienced players.
All-rounders are key and one of my favourite Maldives players has to be Umar Adam. He has no real results so far with scores of 9 and 7, and going wicketless in both games, but he can be a game-changer on his day. Medium pacer Ibrahim Hassan has 1 wicket in 2 games but he’s one of their best bowlers who bats in the lower middle order too, making him a must-have in my BHU vs NEP fantasy team.
Nepal
After four continuous single-digit failures including three at the Abu Dhabi T10 league, former captain Paras Khadka returned with a smashing fifty and also picked 2/11 in his 4 overs in the last game. Pick him as your NLD vs NEP fantasy team captain if playing a one-on-one league. Against a weak bowling attack, pick the current captain Gyanendra Malla as well, along with a couple other top order batsmen.
All-rounder Pawan Sarraf has picked up 3 wickets in just 4 overs bowled this competition and he’s someone you would want in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team for sure. However, avoid Rohit Kumar Paudel who hasn’t scored heavily in recent months. Another good pick for Nepal is Karan KC, having already picked a wicket in 2 games this tournament, last game ending with 1/16 in 4 overs.
