Numbers

  • Head to head in T20Is, these two play each other for the first time.
  • Jan Frylinck – 14 wickets in 6 games in this tournament.
  • Gerhard Erasmus in last 2 games this tournament – 72, 52*.
  • Jatinder Singh in last 3 games this tournament – 48, 68*, 29.

Namibia

With a total of 18 wickets in his last 10 games, Jan Frylinck is the top wicket-taker of this tournament with a 4-fer in the last game and two 3-fers earlier in the tournament. Frylinck has experience in the South Africa domestic circuit and is a must pick while Bernard Scholtz has also been good with the ball, with a total tally of 11 wickets in 6 games and he hasn’t gone wicketless in a single game in this tournament so far.

With the bat, JJ Smit hasn’t been at his best with 105 runs in 6 games, but he’s easily one of their most talented all-rounders, with the 23-year old also having 9 wickets so far. Along with him, captain Gerhard Erasmus has been at his best in the middle order with two consecutive fifties and a total of 198 runs in 6 games in this tournament. Potential all-rounder option with 2 wickets and 104 runs – Craig Williams.

Oman

Fill your all-rounder spots with players from Oman. Captain Zeeshan Maqsood had a few quiet games but his last 2 games have been good, with 105 runs in 6 games including a best of 56 in the last round robin game. He also has 4 wickets in the last 2 games. Their best so far this tournament has to be Khawar Ali who is their leader with the ball with 9 wickets in 6 games while he also has a best of 50, which he got against Ireland.

With 8 wickets in 6 games and a best of 4/14, Aamir Kaleem is another player you should include in your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team especially since these pitches assist spin. Kaleem has only 2 double digit scores so far but the number 4 batsman is capable of more runs too. Most will be picking Jatinder Singh because of his recent consistency but I’m taking the gamble and leaving him out against a good bowling attack.
