OMN vs PNG Playerzpot Team - T20 World Cup 2021 | 17 Oct

Finally, it’s time for the 2021 T20 World Cup to kick off in Oman and UAE. Before the main draw (Super 12’s) begins, we’ll begin with the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers and here, the top few teams will have to beat the others to move ahead. In Match 1, we have Oman vs PNG taking place in Oman itself and we believe that the home team surely has a major advantage because they’re at home and because of warmup game results as well.

Oman lost their warmup game to Netherlands only narrowly but bat Namibia by a comfortable margin. On the other hand, Papua New Guinea lost both their warmup game to Ireland and Sri Lanka, and prior to that they lost to Namibia in the final game of the UAE Summer T20 Bash 2021 as well, which was played in Dubai.

Numbers

Head to head in T20Is, these two haven’t played.
In 9 T20Is at this ground, Oman has won 6 times.
Oman – beat Mumbai 2-1 in a T20 series in August.

Oman

Leading the side for many years now is all-rounder Zeeshan Maqsood who bowls and bats both. In the warmup games, he got a total of 30 runs in 2 games and one wicket as well. We expect him to do better in the main tournament and we’re picking him in our OMN vs PNG fantasy team. Apart from him, there’s Sandeep Goud who has got starts in all of his last four games including 19 and 19 in the warmups, so he’s in good touch as well.

With only 7 runs in 2 games in the warmups, Kashyap Prajapati is unlikely to get a T20I debut but in August, he smashed 146(138) in one of the one day games against Mumbai. If he makes the OMN vs PNG playing XI, the hard-hitting batsman is worth picking as well. With the ball, medium pacer Kaleemullah has gone wicketless only once in his last 10 games for Oman and even got a 4-fer in one of the warmup games, so should be picked too.

Papua New Guinea

One of the best hopes in this tournament will be opening batsman Tony Ura who has 768 runs in 26 T20I innings and he scores them at a strike rate of 140+. Even in the Summer T20 Bash final against Namibia, he scored 69 and should make your OMN vs PNG Playerzpot team. With 3 fifties in his last 5 games for PNG, Assad Vala is leading the side and has been in great form, while also bowling every now and then.

With 35 wickets in 27 T20Is, Norman Vanua is PNG’s leading wicket-taker and even though he’s not bowled in their last 4 games, he’s a must have in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) OMN vs PNG fantasy team today, because he can bat when needed as well. Talking about all-round contributors, there’s a leg-spinner who has a wicket in 7 of his last 10 games and can bat too, so we have Charles Amini in our team too.
