It has been such an interesting 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier so far in the UAE. We have plenty of action left including 4 matches on this day. In Match 34, a pumped-up Canada is in action and I say pumped up because they recently pulled off a stunning surprise against Ireland, one of the tournament favourites. Currently, Canada has 3 wins in 4 games; with a slightly lower run rate, they are second in Group B.
They are only behind Oman, who they play here in Abu Dhabi today. Oman also has 3 wins in 4 games and today’s result will decide who is at the top of this group. Oman will start as slight favourites as they have played much more in these parts of the world and will know conditions better.

Canada
After three wins on the trot, it’s likely Canada plays an unchanged team, led by opener Navneet Dhaliwal. The player has 121 runs in 4 games with a best of 69 but what makes me pick him are his consecutive scores of 72* and 140 last month against Vanuatu and Malaysia respectively. Nitish Kumar is the tournament leader with 3 fifties in 4 games and the game with his only failure saw him getting a wicket with the ball.
Jeremy Gordon and Dillon Heyliger are the two pacers I knew would do well in this tournament and they currently have 5 and 7 wickets currently after 4 games. I’d pick Heyliger and unless you want 3 Canada bowlers, skip Gordon for spinner Saad bin Zafar who has been doing well in the last year or so, with 5 wickets here too. X-factor – Rizwan Cheema, who only has scores of 5 and 20 in 2 games, but is their most experienced player.
Oman
A number of your all-rounder slots should be taken up by these Omani players. From them, Khawar Ali has to be your captain or vice-captain as he’s performed in both departments so far, with 78 runs and a best of 50 to go with 6 wickets in 4 games, with a wicket or more in each game. Next, we have Aamir Kaleem who is their top wicket-taker with 7 scalps and while he has only 40 runs, he bats at #5 so there will be opportunities.
Usually a great contributor with bat and ball, captain Zeeshan Maqsood has only managed 43 runs and has gone wicketless in this series so far. Add him to your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team as he won’t have many takers after his performance so far. With the bat, Jatinder Singh is the leader at the moment, with 96 runs so far. He scored 48 in the last game and 64 in the warm-up against Netherlands.
