Hong Kong:

Apart from Kinchit Shah, none of the Hong Kong batsmen have done well with much is expected from Nizakat Khan and Aizaz Khan. While the reliable Kyle Christie has gone about his work without much fuss, the experience of Ehsan Khan and Waqas Barkat is key for the Asians, who are due for a big performance in the tournament.

Nizakat Khan, Ahsan Abbasi, Kinchit Shah, Aizaz Khan, Waqas Barkat, Simandeep Singh, Haroon Arshad, Scott McKenchie, Ehsan Ahmed, Kyle Christie and Raag Kapur

Jersey

After a decent outing against UAE, Jersey wouldn’t be keen on making many changes with star batsman, Jonty Jenner in fine form for them. In addition to Jenner, Jersey boast of a couple of talented players such as Ben Ward and Charles Perchard. Against a relatively better established outfit in Hong Kong, they will need their star players to stand out and build on their performance against UAE.

Nick Ferraby, Harrison Carlyon, Jonty Jenner, Ben Stevens, Nick Greenwood, Ben Ward, Charles Perchard, Corey Bisson, Dom Blampied, Anthony Hawkins-Kay, Jake Dunford,

Top Picks:

Nizakat Khan is due for a big knock in the tournament which is why he is one of the first names on the fantasy team sheet. While the likes of Aizaz Khan and Ben Stevens also find a place in the side, Jonty Jenner is one player who will find a place in majority of the fantasy teams. He has scored 133 runs so far and is third on the list of highest run scorers. In the bowling department, Kyle Christie is a must have in the side after picking two wickets against UAE while Jersey captain, Charles Perchard is also good option to round the team off for this game.
