Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off 2023, Match 2, UAE vs PNG: Probable XIs, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
UAE and PNG are set to lock horns in Match No.2 of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off on Monday, March 27. The Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek will host the encounter.
The UAE were captained by Muhammad Waseem in their previous ODI encounter against Nepal. Asif Khan smashed a 41-ball hundred in that match and will be high on confidence, although his knock went in vain.
Muhammad Waseem is one of the most powerful strikers of the ball in the team and a lot will depend on him. The likes of Rohan Mustafa, Zahoor Khan and Junaid Siddiqui bring in a lot of experience as well.
PNG, on the other hand, will depend heavily on their skipper Assad Vala, who has been a fulcrum for them in all three departments. Chad Soper and Riley Hekure were in decent form in the World Cup League 2 and will need to step up.
Charles Amini and Sese Bau add some stability to their middle order. Norman Vanua has been leading their pace attack for quite some time and he needs to strike early for PNG.
