A few months since that we’ve been waiting for this tournament to kick off. The ICC World Cricket League 2019 takes place in Namibia with quite a few ‘associate’ countries fighting in this Division 2 league for a chance to qualify and feature in the 2022 Cricket World Cup Qualifiers. PNG, Oman, USA, Namibia, Canada and Hong Kong are the participants.
Today is Day 1 of this series and we begin with every team getting a game. Match 2 is going to be an exhilarating one as both favourites Canada and Hong Kong face off at Windhoek. The top 2 teams progress from this league and here, you can keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy preview of the Canada vs Hong Kong game…

Canada
For Canada, Davy Jacobs is part of the set-up and he is their wicket-keeper and also captain. The ex-South African national has played in the Ram Slam, CPL and also for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. His experience and explosive nature at the top of the order makes him a must have in today’s game; he is my captain for this game.
Another couple of very talented batsmen in the middle order are Srimantha Wijeyeratne and Ruvindu Gunasekara, both of whom are good friends of Read Scoops haha. They get a direct entry into my fantasy team for today, while Nitish Kumar is a good option as he is an all-rounder. Nikhil Dutta will be a good option with the ball while the 19-year old Bhavindu Adhihetty is one to watch out for if he plays.
Hong Kong
When you think of Cricket Hong Kong, two names in Anshuman Rath and Babar Hayat must definitely pop into your heads. These two are extremely talented batters and Rath is also the captain of the national side. Kinchit Shah and Aizaz Khan are both all-rounders you can pick since we have just one all-rounder from Canada.
Ehsan Khan, Ehsan Nawaz and Tanwir Afzal are almost certain starters for Hong Kong as they are among their most consistent performers. This pitch is good for batsmen but will support the spinner so pick your team accordingly. I’m choosing a 6-5 team in favour of Canada and expect Canada to walk away victorious as well.
