Preview

ACT Comets will take on Papua New Guinea in the 14th match of the CDU Men's Top End Series. This match will be played at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin. ACT Comets lost their previous match against Melbourne Stars Academy. They failed to chase down a target of 145 and were bundled out for 65. Batting has been their main concern throughout the tournament and they will be keen to put up an improved performance in this match.

On the other hand, Papua New Guinea also lost their previous match against Pakistan Shaheens by 8 wickets. Batting first, PNG could post just 122 runs in their 20 overs. It was a below-par total on that surface and in reply, Pakistan Shaheens chased down the target within 13 overs. They have a strong squad and will be keen to bounce back. This promises to be an exciting match.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

7.5

Tyler Hays

AC | BAT

Tyler Hays is batting lower down the order and might not face much balls to make an impact. Hence avoid him for this match.

8.5

Blake Faunce

AC | ALL

Blake Faunce went wicketless and was expensive in his previous match and with plenty of better options he can be left out.
