Probable Playing XI

Oman:

Oman should field the same side for this game in spite of the demoralizing loss to Namibia. Jatinder Singh and Aqib Ilyas have been good with the bat with the likes of Zeeshan Maqsood and Khawar Ali chipping in as well. It has been their bowling that has done most of the damage. Bilal Khan has picked twelve wickets so far with Khawar Ali and Aamir Kaleem also consistent troubling the batsmen. Oman will head into this game as the favourites considering their depth in batting as well.

Khawar Ali, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood, Suraj Kumar, Khurram Nawaz, Sandeep Goud, Bilal Khan, Aamir Kaleem, Mohammad Nadeem and Fayyaz Butt

Hong Kong:

On the other hand, Hong Kong should persist with the same side that beat Nigeria. Nizakat Khan struck some form against them although it has been Kinchit Shah, who has starred with more than 200 runs to his credit. Their bowling unit has impressed in bits and pieces with Kyle Christie and Ehsan Khan being key to their fortunes. The presence of Haroon Arshad and Waqas Barkat adds much needed balance in the side although they do enter this game as the underdogs.

Nizakat Khan, Aizaz Khan, Kinchit Shah, Waqas Barkat, Haroon Arshad, Scott McKenchie, Simandeep Singh, Kyle Christie, Nasrullah Rana, Ehsan Khan and Mohammad Ghazanfar

Top Picks:

Khawar Ali and Kinchit Shah are their side’s best bets with both allrounders in decent form in the top order. Along with them, the duo of Jatinder Singh and Aqib Ilyas have scored 193 and 174 runs respectively and are viable options as well. Nizakat Khan is due for a big score with the Hong Kong opener scoring only 139 runs so far. The likes of Aamir Kaleem and Simandeep Singh also a find alongside Scott McKenchie, who fills in as the lone wicket-keeper in the side. Bilal Khan should add more wickets to his tally of twelve while Ehsan Khan and Mohammad Nadeem should round the team off for this crucial encounter.
