Today is the first day of the 2020 Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Western Region T20 tournament which is taking place in Oman over a period of 5 days. 8 teams are being divided into 2 groups of 4 each, with the top 2 of each group going on to the semi-finals. With 2 matches being played earlier in the day, we have Match 3 between Oman and Bahrain kicking off at the same time as this match.
Now Match 4 will also be played nearby at another pitch and we have Kuwait in action against Gulf neighbour Saudi Arabia, both of whom don’t have plenty of international cricket experience, at least in recent times, but both ranked closely in the ICC T20 Rankings.

Numbers
- Head to head in previous T20Is, Saudi Arabia leads 1-0.
- Saudi Arabia – 24th in the ICC T20I Rankings.
- Kuwait – 28th in the ICC T20I Rankings.
Kuwait
The last time Kuwait played an international game, it was Muhammad Kashif who led the side, and e led by example. He has 2 fifties in 10 career T20Is so far, to go with 12 wickets, so he’s one options for your fantasy side captain, considering he got 49* and 3/30 in his last T20I against Nepal. Muhammad Aslam is also an important part of the side, though he has only 3 wickets and a top score of 22 in 6 T20Is so far.
Though he’s marked by ESPNcricinfo as an all-rounder, opening batsman Ravija Sandaruwan is yet to bowl in an international T20 game, but he’s been prolific with the bat, with 2 fifties and a top score of 103 in just 10 T20 internationals so far. Another player you must include in your KUW vs SAU fantasy side today is Ilyas Ahmed, who has 9 wickets in 6 T20Is, though he’s gone wicketless in his last 2 games.
Saudi Arabia
From what we last remember, Shoaib Ali was captain of the Saudi Arabia side and while he has only 3 wickets in 5 T20Is in his career, he has a 5-fer in a limited overs game against Bhutan in 2017, so you can include him in your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) fantasy team today. To help with the ball, there’s Usman Ali who has 4 career wickets in 5 T20 internationals so far.
Though he had failures of 0 and 7 in his first couple of international games, Shamsudheen Purat smashed 88* in his third and last T20I and he’ll open the innings here for Saudi Arabia. Alongside him, we have the very capable and potential all-round contributor Faisal Khan who has 1 fifty in 4 T20Is and has also bowled once, where he ended with good bowling figures of 1/21 against Qatar.
