The track would be conducive to the batsmen, and the spinners also extracting some benefits out of it as the game progresses and eventually enters its second essays.

Predicted Playing XI: 

Hong Kong:

Nizakat Khan and Aizaz Khan are the two key players for Hong Kong at the top of the order, with the likes of Waqas Barkat and Scott McKechnie adding solidity and flair to the lineup later on. Ehsan Khan and Kyle Christie are the other two crucial bowlers in this side.

Nizakat Khan, Ahsan Abbasi, Aizaz Khan (C), Kinchit Shah, Waqas Barkat, Haroon Arshad, Scott McKechnie (WK), Simandeep Singh, Ehsan Khan, Kyle Christie, Nasrulla Rana

Nigeria:

Daniel Ajekum and Ademola Onikoyi would have to take the mantle and act upon it accordingly if Nigeria are to make their batting order click as such. Issac Okpe and Sylvester Okpe could have a notable impact upon the game if they manage to pull up their socks too, and hence they would be integral figures in this team too.

Daniel Ajekun, Sulaimon Runsewe, Daniel Gim, Chimezie Onwuzulike, Ademola Onikoyi (C & WK), Joseph Adedeji, Isaac Okpe, Leke Oyede, Sylvester Okpe, Vincent Adewoye, Chima Akachukwu

Top Picks: 

Nigeria were absolutely rolled over the Irish side in today’s match, and hence it would be unnecessary to provide statistical backings to the selection of some of their players in the fantasy XI side. Kinchit Shah was in top form for Hong Kong against Canada, as he scored 59 runs from 48 deliveries in an innings in which he stabilized the innings after a top order debacle. Shah hit a couple of boundaries and three sixes, and looks to be a good run of form to be lured in the side. Nasrulla Rana had a great game as well, in which he dismissed three Nigerian batsmen in his spell of four overs and conceded only 25 runs in total. Aizaz Khan and Kyle Christie are other players who can deliver a notable performance and thus earn a significant number of points as well.

1: Kinchit Shah

2: Nizakat Khan

3: Ahsan Abbasi
