PNG vs NAM Toss Prediction

Papua New Guinea elected to field first in their opening game – and won – but the tendency has been to bat first. If they win the toss again, they could elect to set a target this time.

PNG vs NAM Weather Report

Even early in the morning, temperatures will be in the 30s with clear, sunny skies and zero chance of rain in Dubai.

PNG vs NAM Pitch Condition

Dubai generally serves up hard, dry wickets and that was definitely the case as Scotland batted on it in the first game of the tournament to be played at Ground No2.

Papua New Guinea Team News & Playing 11

PNG Team News

Riley Hekure made his T20i debut in the opening game, bowling one over as Papua New Guinea utilised nine bowlers against Bermuda. After their dominant win, it is unlikely they will make any changes – meaning Hiri Hiri and Chad Soper will miss out again. 

PNG Key Players

Tony Ura: After scoring 39 and 33 in the two warm-up matches, the PNG opener hit an unbeaten 33 from 27 balls to lead the Barras to a ten-wicket win first up. 

Charles Amini: Not needed with the bat in the opening game, though he does have a tidy T20i average, but he did take 1-13 with the ball – bowling 16 dot balls from across his four overs to prove his worth on the bowling front.

Norman Vanua: Took a hat-trick in his first over – a three-wicket maiden – to set the tone for Papua New Guinea’s win first up and also continue his excellent bowling record in T20 internationals. 

PNG Team Form

Papua New Guinea started this tournament in excellent form, with Norman Vanua’s hat-trick leaving Bermuda 11/5 from three overs in their first game. Papua New Guinea were eventually set 90 to win, and Tony Ura (33*) and Assad Vala (53*) ensured they needed just 62 balls to wrap up a ten-wicket win.

Tony Ura, Norman Vanua, Assad Vala (c), Charles Amini, Sese Bau, Lega Siaka, Damien Ravu, Kiplin Doriga (wk), Jason Kila, Nosaina Pokana, Riley Hekure

PNG vs NAM Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain

Wicket-keepers

Kiplin Doriga is down the order for Papua New Guinea so it may be more worthwhile picking one of the Namibians listed. Zane Green is in the middle order, whereas JP Kotze opens the batting. At 8.5 credits, he could be good value.

Batsmen

Tony Ura is one of the few out-and-out batsmen in this Papua New Guinea squad and he is a must-pick at 9.5 credits too. With so many others listed as all-rounders, it is worth holding spaces back for them. Nevertheless, one of Namibia’s top all-rounders, Jan Frylinck, is listed as a batsman despite his three wickets last time out so he is worth picking up. Niko Davin does not hang around with the bat for Namibia, meanwhile, but he could deliver some lusty blows.

All-rounders

On to the all-rounders, Charles Amini bowled tidily last time out and is a key batsman too, albeit he was not needed in the opening game. Assad Vala hit an unbeaten half-century to prove his batting form, meanwhile. Namibia do have some key all-rounders of their own, meanwhile. JJ Smit and Christi Viljoen are among their stand-out players.

Bowlers

With the ball, Norman Vanua took a hat-trick to continue his wicket-taking form in T20 internationals for Papua New Guinea in the first game. He is a key part of a Papua New Guinea bowling attack that boasts plenty of depth. Nosaina Pokana and Damien Ravu also played their part, while an alternative would be Jason Kila. For Namibia, if you would prefer, Bernard Scholtz scored well in Dream 11 compared to his team-mates.

Captain/vice-captain

Norman Vanua’s wicket-taking form continued in the first game, while Tony Ura delivered with the bat once again. Assad Vala did too, and he is more likely to bowl as well – making him a potentially good captain pick. Charles Amini is the other top Papua New Guinea all-round option, and he will expect to be needed with the bat as well as for his tidy bowling. Vala and Amini, being genuine all-rounders, makes them slightly less risky picks than Vanua and Ura – though the latter are consistent and worth considering too.

Namibia Team News & Playing 11

NAM Team News

After bowling well against the Netherlands, Namibia’s batting fell hopelessly short. It may be too early for changes, however – though their key batsmen will need scores sooner rather than later.

NAM Key Players

Christi Viljoen: Claimed a four-wicket haul and a five-wicket haul as Namibia qualified for this tournament and he will lead the attack again as he bids to add to his 74 wickets in 66 T20 innings.

Jan Frylinck: The all-rounder has made a strong start to his ODI career and he is a useful T20 player with bat and ball too. He started this tournament with 3-25 against the Netherlands.

Niko Davin: Showed good form in the warm-up series against Botswana and he currently boasts a strike rate of 153.12 in T20 international cricket.

NAM Team Form

Namibia warmed up for this tournament in good form, beating Botswana, but they found the gulf to the top teams too big in their first game – chasing 141 to beat the Netherlands, after Jan Frylinck had claimed 3-25, they collapsed to 49/7 in the tenth over and eventually folded for 96.
