WCL Division 2 2019 – Namibia vs Canada Fantasy Preview

Two games and two losses for Canada so far in the ICC World Cricket League Division 2 tournament and suddenly, a team that was one of the favourites is now on the verge of heading out of the tournament. As for Namibia, the hosts have begun well, with a win in their first 2 games. Now, we’re all set for the Namibia vs Canada clash in Game 9 of the tournament.

We return to Windhoek for this clash and this is Canada’s best chance to get off the mark in this tournament. They’ve lost one game batting first and one batting second.

ICC WCL Div 2 2019 - Namibia vs Canada fantasy preview

Stats

  • In the last 5 head-to-head games, Namibia lead Canada 3-2.

Canada

The Canadian bowlers have only picked up 9 wickets in 2 games, with Romesh Eranga getting 3 in the last game. On the other hand, they’ve had both of Nitish Kumar and Davy Jacobs getting fifties so far. Kumar also has 2 wickets so he’s my captain for this game while Jacobs has experience of playing in multiple leagues around the world including IPL, so he’s my vice-captain for this game.

Saad bin Zafar also has 2 wickets and 20 runs in this tournament so far, so he’s also a part of my team as I’m a big fan of all-rounders for fantasy cricket. Apart from him, there’s a lot of talent in Srimantha Wijeyeratne who scored 44 in the opening game. He can keep the scoreboard ticking in the middle overs as he’s a brilliant shot-maker.

Namibia

If Canada has struggled to take wickets, Namibia has excelled in this, with their bowlers having picked up 16 wickets thus far in 2 games. Leading them is JJ Smit, who has devastated opponents so far, having picked up 8 wickets in this tournament and he’s a definite part of my squad. Similarly, we have Jan Frylinck.

This guy reminds me very much of South Africa’s Robbie Frylinck, bowling a heavy ball and being pretty handy with the bat as well. 3 wickets and 29 runs so far means he has a pivotal role in the Namibian team. Gerhard Erasmus’ 92 in the last game vs USA means he could get you some pretty decent fantasy points as well today.
