Pitch Report

The first two matches at The Simonds Stadium Surface were two paced. The batsmen were finding it difficult to pick the pace of the ball. But still, Namibia was able to put up 163 on board. Contrastingly the batters were able to hit the ball on the rise on some occasions. Overall, it is a good T20 wicket, which will have the upper hand for the bowlers.

Stephan Baard, Michael Van Lingen, Jan Nicol Loftie Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus, Divan la Cock, Jan Frylinck, JJ Smit, David Wiese, Zane Green, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo

NED vs NAM Top Fantasy Picks

Captain – B Leede

One down batter and the strike bowler of Netherlands makes B Leede the best option to be the captain. His extraordinary performance in the last game makes it better.

Vice captain – David Wiese

An excellent spell in the first game but missed going with the bat. The quality lurking in David Wiese will never be missed in bigger games.

Wicketkeeper – S Edwards

Zane Green of Namibia walks in very low in the order, while S Edwards of the Netherlands is a proper middle-order batter with the ability to score high. So comparatively, it’s S Edwards.

Batters – Lofty Eaton, G Erasmus, V Singh

Loftie Eaton is a good batter whose approach will be to get runs in any situation. Walking in at one drop, his positive intent makes him worth the pick.

The skipper of Namibia, G Erasmus, will get to bowl a decent number of overs, probably with the new ball. In addition, his place in the middle-order batting makes him the obvious pick.

The 19-years-old Vikramjit Singh has some serious potential to show off. I will give the game changer one more chance in my fantasy team.

All-rounders – David Wiese, J Frylinck, J Smit, B Leede

J Frylinck has a lot to offer with both the bat and the ball. The MOM of the last match will go with the flow he has.

The Left-arm pacer J Smit is well experienced and went with the best strike rate with the bat in the last game.

Bowlers – P Meekeran, Scholtz, Klaassen

P Meekeran will try to etch his name with wickets in the middle overs. 

Klaassen moves the ball both inside and out. Death over bowling is his advantage. 

Scholtz has got the sheer wicket-taking technique. Bowls on the steps often. Never gives room for the batters.
