Today’s KEN vs NIG Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Irfan Karim is a phenomenal wicketkeeper-batter who is a great choice for your Dream11 fantasy side. The left-hander has represented his country in 23 T20Is, scoring 446 runs at a strike rate close to 100. Karim scored 36 runs in the previous match.

Batters

Although known to be a prolific batter, Prosper Useni has bowled incredibly well in the tournament. He has picked up three wickets so far and will be looking to add more scalps to his name today.

Alex Obanda tore into the Nigerian bowling unit the last time the two teams met. He ended up scoring 103 runs on that occasion and will be the player to watch out for today as well.

All-rounders

32-year-old Shem Ngoche is one of the most senior figures in the Kenyan dressing room. He has picked up 44 wickets and scored 184 runs in 35 T20Is. Ngoche, who took a wicket against Nigeria last time out, will be looking to make a major impact in this match.

Peter Aho is a crucial all-rounder who has had a strong campaign so far. In the last game against Nigeria, Aho scored 13 runs and picked up two wickets.

Bowler

Elijah Otieno is a medium-pacer who always looks to extract a lot of bounce off the pitch. With the conditions expected to favor his bowling, Otieno could be a handful today.
