Pitch Report

Win the toss and bat first and put a good score on the board should be the mantra for the captain who calls the toss right. The game between West Indies and New Zealand at the same venue showed how difficult batting is under lights as the pacers can swing the ball and get good purchase off the wicket.

Player Picks

7.5
C

Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | BOWL

The left-arm pacer has been the best bowler so far during the T20 WC with 9 wickets from 2 matches which also includes a fifer against Uganda.

8.5
C

Alei Nao PNG | BOWL

The 30-year-old right arm pacer was the best bowler for PNG in the match against Uganda where he picked two wickets and also was economical in his 4 overs.

8.5

Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK

Afghanistan wicket-keeper and opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been amongst the runs with two back to back fifties and has been one of the players to watch out for.

8.5

Norman Vanua PNG | ALL

PNG pacer Norman Vanua has been impressing everyone with his wicket-taking abilities and his steady line and length which troubles many batters.

9

Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL

Afghan skipper Rashid Khan was at his best against the Kiwis picking 4/17 to help his side win by a huge margin. The right-arm spinner is slowly coming to his best form which will worry many teams.

6.5

Hiri Hiri PNG | BAT

Hiri was the best batter for PNG on a rather miserable day with the bat. The likes of Tony Ura and Assad Vala's inability to get going has meant that PNG have struggled to put a good score on the board.

7.5

Najibullah Zadran

AFG | BAT

Veteran batter Najibullah Zadran hasn't been amongst the runs and this will worry the Afghan side as he is a very dangerous batter when he gets going.

7.5

Tony Ura

PNG | WK

The world was waiting for Tony Ura to show his best with the bat but that hasn't happened and he will look back at this tournament as a lost opportunity to showcase his skills.
