The 2019 South Asian Games has been a fun affair for those following the T20 competition. From the original 5 teams that participated, only Bhutan was eliminated after losing all 4 of their round robin games. Now, the playoff stage begins with the 3rd place game between Maldives and Nepal. Maldives had 1 wins 4 games which saw them ending in 4th place on the points table.
As for Nepal, they managed 2 wins in their 4 games including one victory against Maldives itself. Nepal are much higher ranked in the ICC T20I Rankings and they are clear favourites to win the bronze medal here too.

Numbers
- In the round robin fixture, Nepal won by 84 runs.
- Dipendra Singh Airee in 4 games this series – 72*, 45*, 39, 16.
- Rohit Kumar Paudel last 6 professional outings – 8, 10, 6, 6, 5, 5.
Maldives
The team is being led by Mohamed Mahfooz and he has a tally of 3 wickets after 4 games, just missing out on a wicket in the last game. Another bowling option could be Leem Shafeeg who picked of 3/33 in the round robin game against Nepal. He has a total of 4 wickets in 4 games so far. After picking only 1 wicket in his first 3 games, Ibrahim Hassan bagged 3/15 in the last game and is certainly worth picking..
One of my favourite Maldives all-rounder is Umar Amin and after three low scores of 9, 7 and 9, he scored 37* in the last game, to go with a couple of wickets in his last 2 games. With scores of 5, 29, 13, and 3 so far, Mohammed Rishwan is a good selection for your fantasy team because he has been very consistent in recent months. He also has 2 career T20I fifties in 10 games.
Nepal
While there are more experienced players in the team, Dipendra Singh Airee has to be the one in the best form at the moment. His score of 16 in the last game was his lowest all tournament but he bowled and bagged a couple of wickets that day too. Former captain Paras Khadka is also worth picking even though he’s had 3 failures of 1, 11 and 9 so far in 4 games. Regardless, he bowls and even picked 3/15 in the last game.
18-year old all-rounder Pawan Sarraf could be a good pick for your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) fantasy team. He has 2 ducks in 4 innings and 4 wickets too. While he hasn’t performed up to expectations, he can be your x-factor all-rounder pick today. Sushan Bhari could be a worthy pick the ball as he only has 3 wickets in 4 games and won’t be a very popular fantasy selection.
