A few hours back, Hong Kong succumbed to loss against Oman, making it the former’s second loss in an equal number of games in UAE as a part of the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. It hasn’t been a smooth ride for them while it’s not been the same for their opponents in today’s Match 15 where they play against the hosts, UAE.
UAE was dealt a shock when they lost their opening game to Oman but they came back strong to defeat Ireland by 5 wickets and get a spot in the middle of the Group B points table with 1 win in 2 games currently.

United Arab Emirates
Just to put things in perspective, after 2 games in this T20 Qualifier, Rohan Mustafa is UAE’s highest run scorer as well as highest wicket-taker with 63 runs and 4 wickets so far. He has 12 wickets in his last 5 T20Is and can be a real game-changer on his day. With the ball, Zahoor Khan ended his 10+ game wicketless streak in the first game of the tournament. So far, he has 1 wicket in 2 games but we know how good he is, so I’ll pick him in my fantasy team.
Opener Ashfaq Ahmed had three fifties in 4 T20Is in Netherlands in August this year and he has been in fine form, so I’ll pick him even though he just has single-digit scores of 3 and 4 in this tournament. Chirag Suri played the second game and he scored 17; he played in the GT20 Canada earlier this year and got a fifty as well against a quality bowling attack, so I’ll pick him. The side will be captained by left-arm spinner Ahmed Raza who has 2 wickets in 2 games.
Hong Kong
With the ball, there won’t be many takers for the 17-year old Nasrulla Rana who has gone wicketless in both games so far. However, the bowler has been among the wickets including 7 wickets in his last 3 T20s in the Hong Kong T20 tournament. The team is captain by Aizaz Khan who performs with bat and ball both. He has only 24 runs and 1 wicket so far, but he has potential of bringing in big fantasy points; he scored 100* for Kowloon CC last month.
Another player who contributes in both departments in Kinchit Shah who you can’t miss from your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team. Shah scored 79 in the opening game and backed it up by 12 in the next game along with 1 wicket, so he’s an option to be your fantasy team captain or vice-captain. X-factor all-round player – Waqas Barkat, who has 18 runs and 1 wicket in 2 games so far.
