From among the current associate nations, Kenya was one of the first to make it to the big stage and even do well there, having even reached the semi final of an ICC World Cup in 2003. However, they’ve been in the wilderness since quite a few years and it’s good to see them back now, competing for a spot in the 202 ICC T20 World Cup. They now play in Match 3 of the ICC 2019 ICC T20 WC Qualifier in Dubai.
They’re up against a tough opposition in Netherlands, a team that has been playing a lot of cricket in recent times and that has a few players who have a lot of exposure. This is the third game of the day after Singapore takes on Scotland at the same ground and in Abu Dhabi, Ireland plays Hong Kong.

Kenya
Captain Shem Ngoche comes from a family that has had a long list of cricketers playing the sport and he’s a must in your fantasy team since he bats and bowls both. He’s scored 62 runs and picked up 8 wickets in his last 5 games for Kenya and is a high value player. In over 130 international games for Kenya, 38-year old Collins Obuya has been around since years and just a couple of days back, he scored 49 against Jersey in their first warm-up game; he bowls once in a while too.
Another option with the bat is another experienced player in Alex Obanda, who has 9 ODI fifties for Kenya and 1 T20I fifty too. In the last warm-up game against Canada, he scored 46. With the ball, go for experience again and here, it’s Elijah Otieno who picked up 2 wickets in the same warm-up game against Canada while he also picked 4 wickets in 3 T20Is scheduled at Kampala. The other bowler to get 2 wickets that day was the captain.
Netherlands
The team is being led by Pieter Seelaar and he has been among the wickets in each of his last 7 international games for Netherlands, picking up 10 wickets in that time. Last month, he also scored a career-best score of 96* against Scotland in Dublin. He will be assisted by legendary all-rounder Ryan ten Doeschate who has experience playing across the world. He’s coming off a successful season with Essex and scored well in two warm-ups here too.
Ben Cooper has had the maximum fun in the warm-up games and he’s come you wouldn’t want to miss in your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) fantasy team, scoring 60 against Oman in the last game. He scored 65 and 91* in 2 of his last 3 T20 internationals as well. He has company in Max O’Dowd who has 2 fifties in 2 ODIs and 4 fifties in 27 T20Is, to go with a lot of experience.
