Key Player Battles

JJ Smit vs Ayaan Misbah: Smit’s all round value for Namibia against Misbah’s spin in the middle overs is a contest that could decide how quickly Namibia’s innings builds.

Harpreet Singh vs Jan Frylinck: Harpreet’s captaincy and batting against Frylinck’s pace and all round skill gives both sides a way to swing the momentum.

Ruben Trumpelmann vs Akshdeep Nath: Trumpelmann’s left arm pace with the new ball against Nath’s experience at the top of the UAE order could set the tone early.

NAM vs UAE Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicketkeepers: Zane Green, Rahul Chopra

Batters: Harpreet Singh (C), Akshdeep Nath, Ayaan Misbah

All-rounders: JJ Smit (VC), Gerhard Erasmus, Jan Frylinck

Bowlers: Ruben Trumpelmann, Muhammad Arfan, Ben Shikongo

Harpreet gets the captaincy as UAE’s captain and a side in much stronger recent form, while Smit takes the vice captaincy as Namibia’s all round focal point. The rest of the side is built around UAE’s top order plus the bowlers from both sides who should see plenty of overs on a pitch that has favoured chasing.

NAM vs UAE Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicketkeepers: Zane Green,

Batters: Harpreet Singh, Michael van Lingen, Muhammad Shahdad

All-rounders: Jan Frylinck (C), Basil Hameed (VC), JJ Smit, Ali Naseer, Nicol Loftie-Eaton

Bowlers: Bernard Scholtz, Khuzaima Bin Tanveer,

For a grand league differential play, Frylinck offers all round upside without the ownership Harpreet or Smit will draw. Hameed gets the vice captaincy as a lower owned UAE top order option. Scholtz and Khuzaima round out the side as differential bowling picks.
