ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier: UAE vs Nigeria Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Team, Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

11:30 AM IST

Sheikh Zayed Stadium Nursery 1, Abu Dhabi

Weather Report:

Bright sunny conditions with absolutely no chances of rain and temperature ranging around 32 degrees Celsius expected during the game.

Pitch Report:

As the tournament has progressed, surfaces have started slowing down and thereby runs have dried up. Chasing has proven to be a difficult task on such tracks and thus teams would look to bat first on winning the toss.

Injuries:

No notable injury concerns reported.

Probable Playing XI:

UAE:

After a shock defeat against Jersey in their last game, the hosts would look to get back to winning ways in this match. Rohan Mustafa and Chirag Suri should anchor the inning for their side and help post a respectable total on the scoreboard whereas Junaid Siddique is one to watch out for in the bowling department.

Chirag Suri, Rohan Mustafa, Rameez Shahzad, Mohammad Usman, Darius D’Silva, Waheed Ahmed, Mohammad Boota (WK), Sultan Ahmed, Ahmed Raza (C), Junaid Siddique, Zahoor Khan

Nigeria:

Daniel Ajekun is the stand-out figure in the batting unit and the onus will lie on him to score the bulk of the runs and will require support from the likes of Sulaimon Runsewe and Chimezie Onwuzulike, who will have to play their part with the willow in hand. Abiodun Abioye will be crucial from the bowling perspective.

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

Top Picks:

Rohan Mustafa is a mandatory pick in this contest as a result of his consistent performances with both bat and bowl. In addition to accumulating 101 runs, he has also notched seven wickets in this qualifying campaign. Chirag Suri and Rameez Shahzad should also be picked as they are in decent batting form. The latter scored a half-century against Hong Kong and is due for a big performance. Daniel Ajekun is Nigeria’s most important player and would be a shrewd addition to the Dream11 Team.

Captaincy Options:

1: Rohan Mustafa

2: Rameez Shahzad

3: Daniel Ajekun
