NAM vs UGA, 2nd T20I
Date and Time: 9th April 2022, 1:30 PM IST
Venue: United Cricket Club Ground, Windhoek
Pitch Report
The pitch at the United Cricket Club Ground was a touch on the slower side in the previous game. A similar kind of surface is expected yet again, with the bowlers set to play a major role. The pacers should get the new ball to move around, but will revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. The spinners will also be key in the middle overs with ample turn on offer. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s NAM vs UGA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
JP Kotze: JP Kotze had a decent outing in the previous game, scoring some handy runs at the top of the order. The wicketkeeper-batter is known for his ability to hit the big sixes and given his recent form in the domestic league as well, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Gerhard Erasmus: Gerhard Erasmus had a brilliant outing in the first T20I, making handy contributions with both the bat and ball. Like JP Kotze, Erasmus also comes into the game on the back of some good domestic performances. Given the nature of the track, he is a must-have in your NAM vs UGA Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Dinesh Nakrani: Dinesh Nakrani has been one of Uganda's best players with his ability with both the bat and ball serving his nation well in recent months. While Nakrani's explosiveness in the backend of the innings is sure to come into play, his knack for taking wickets should also hold him in good stead ahead of today's game.
Bowler
Bernard Scholtz: Although Bernard Scholtz only bowled two overs in the previous game, he remains a viable wicket-taking option for Namibia. Scholtz has some experience to fall back on as well, holding him in high regard. With the spinner due for a big performance, he is a good addition to your NAM vs UGA Dream11 fantasy team.
