WCL Div 2 Final – Namibia vs Oman Fantasy Preview

What a fantastic series of ODI cricket and for a few countries, very historic too. The ICC World Cricket League Division 2 was hosted in Namibia and the hosts made ample use of this opportunity at home, finishing 2nd on the points table and setting up a finals clash with the table toppers Oman in a match today at Windhoek.

This is the same ground where Canada beat USA by 40 runs in the last round robin game after Navneet Dhaliwal scored a century. You can expect the team batting first to win here as well.

Namibia

JJ Smit clearly happens to be one of the most important players in the Namibia line-up, because he is their highest wicket-taker this tournament and also second highest run scorer with 192 runs in 5 games. This excellent all-round capabilities means he has to be in your fantasy team and is also my captain for this encounter.

Stephan Baard is their highest run scorer and comes into this game with some good form, with 90 and 122 in his last three innings. With the bat, JP Kotze is also a good option with 183 runs this tournament. Pick a batting heavy side for Namibia as Oman haven’t been putting up big scores individually, as only one player has crossed the 155-run mark this season.

Oman

It has been a fantastic performance from them all series. Another player with brilliant batting and bowling skills and also electrifying in the field is Zeeshan Maqsood, who has 4 wickets and 151 runs so far. The player is also highly experienced and he is my vice-captain for this encounter. With the ball, Aqib Ilyas and Bilal Khan are good picks.

Your wicket-keeper picks will be between Namibia’s Zane Green and the visitors’ Suraj Kumar. Obviously, with 122 runs and having played all games in the tournament, we’ll be picking Suraj Kumar as our wicket-keeper. Mohammad Nadeem could also be a valuable pick in your fantasy team.
