Pitch Report
The pitch at the Prairie View Cricket Complex in Texas is a good one to bat on despite some early help available for the pacers. The track should ease out as the match progresses with a change of pace being crucial. There should be some turn available for the spinners, making for a good contest between the bat and ball in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first and put on a big score, with 270 being par at the venue.
Today’s OMN vs NEP Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Aasif Sheikh: Aasif Sheikh is a talented wicketkeeper-batter who is yet to have a breakout season. He has shown glimpses of his talent in the shortest format, with his ability to take on the pacers being key. With Naseem Khushi slated to bat lower down the order, Sheikh stands out as the best option from the wicketkeeping department.
Batter
Jatinder Singh: Jatinder Singh is one of the best batters on the Associate circuit, with the Omani opener known for his knack for scoring big runs. He has been in good form over the last year or so, often coming up with blistering knocks in the powerplay overs. With the conditions also likely to suit him early on, Jatinder is a good addition to your OMN vs NEP Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounders
Zeeshan Maqsood: Zeeshan Maqsood has been in fine form over the last few seasons, impressing with both the bat and ball. While he is key in the middle overs with the ball, Maqsood's batting prowess alone could earn him a spot in this Dream11 team. With his all-round skills bound to come into play, Maqsood could be backed to come good today.
Bowlers
Sandeep Lamichhane: Sandeep Lamichhane is Nepal's best bet with the ball, with his record speaking for itself. The leggie's variations and experience of playing in almost every franchise league in the world holds him in good stead. With the spinner boasting a decent record against a right-hander heavy Omani outfit as well, he is a must-have in your OMN vs NEP Dream11 fantasy team.
