WCL Div 2 Match 13 – Canada vs USA Fantasy Preview

It has been a horror show for Canada in this huge series so far and they will be on their way out of the 2019 ICC World Cricket League Division 2. However, they have a game left against USA, and these two North American countries have enjoyed a good rivalry in associate member cricket in recent years.

Both teams have played four games each and while Canada have won only 1 of 4, it has been a much better outing for USA, who have won 3 of 4, as they march on towards gaining ODI status. The top 4 teams progress so this game will be a dead rubber. Regardless, you can keep reading this article for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy preview of the Canada vs USA game…

Canada

It has been disappointing to see such slow scoring and the inability to take wickets. In such cases, I’m going to pick all-rounders as the strike bowlers aren’t taking wickets anyway. Nitish Kumar is undoubtedly one of the best Canadian cricketers and he’s my captain for this game. Captain Davy Jacobs is also highly experienced, having played league cricket in Ram Slam, IPL and many other leagues. However, I’d like to see him bat up the order.

The talent of Srimantha Wijeyeratne hasn’t been much on display so far this tournament, except for one innings of 44 while Ruvindu Gunasekara has been a disappointment as well. Nikhil Dutta is a must-pick for this game while Bhavindu Adhihetty could be your x-factor player as the 19-year old is an exceptional talent.

USA

What can I say about Ali Khan? His couple of seasons at the Caribbean Premier League have improved his abilities as a swing bowler and he has the capability to tear apart batting attacks. Apart from being the top bowler in the tournament, he has 24 wickets in his last 10 professional games. He’s my CAPTAIN!

You may have heard of Xavier Marshall, who played 7 Tests and a few ODIs for West Indies. Well, these days he opens the batting for USA and he has been doing pretty well too, being the second highest run-scorer this tournament. Make sure this guy makes your fantasy team while Karima Gore is a good selection as well.
