Key Player Battles

David Miller vs Anrich Nortje: Miller won Belfast’s last match with a fast 42 not out. Nortje’s pace with the new ball is Rotterdam’s best way to remove him early.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Mark Adair: Klaasen hits more sixes than anyone else in this tournament. Adair’s new ball control is Belfast’s answer to him.

Mark Chapman vs Roelof van der Merwe: Chapman has scored heavily this season, including a 71 not out. Van der Merwe’s spin could slow him down in the middle overs.

BW vs RD Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Heinrich Klaasen (Vc), Devon Conway

Batters: David Miller (C), Mark Chapman, Faf du Plessis, Paul Stirling

All-rounders: Mark Adair, David Wiese, Roelof van der Merwe

Bowlers: Anrich Nortje, Chris Jordan

Miller is captain because of his form right now, not because of his name. He won Belfast’s last match with an unbeaten 42 off 26 balls. Klaasen is vice captain because he hits the most sixes of anyone in this tournament, and this ground rewards big hitting.

Glenn Maxwell is left out of the top picks here. He is Belfast’s captain and top scorer for the season, but his last three scores have been 35, 7 and 6. That is not enough recent form to back him for a top slot right now.

Match Prediction

This match is hard to call. Both teams have the same record. Both have shown they can win and lose in different ways this season.

Belfast have the man in form right now in David Miller. Rotterdam have more power through the middle in Klaasen, Wiese and van der Merwe. The ground favours pace, and both sides have good pace options in Nortje, Jordan and Adair.

This is close. Belfast get a very small edge because of Miller’s current form, but this could go either way.
