Pitch Report
Although a good batting track is expected at the venue, there should be help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. The batsmen will be wary of movement off the surface and will have to get their eye in before going big. The spinners will also come into play in the middle overs, making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 240 being par at the venue.

Wicketkeeper
Tony Ura: Tony Ura is one of the better batters in the PNG batting unit, with his big-hitting ability being a crucial asset. Although he isn't expected to keep wickets, his batting prowess should give him the nod over Matt Cross.
Batsman
Kyle Coetzer: Kyle Coetzer didn't have the best of series against Zimbabwe, but this is a different format altogether. His experience should serve him well, making him a must-have in your PNG vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Assad Vala: Assad Vala, who is PNG's best bet with the bat, is quite handy with the ball too. He had a couple of good outings against the USA and Nepal, which should hold him in good stead going into this game.
Bowler
Mark Watt: Mark Watt was one of the better performers for Scotland against Zimbabwe, with his accuracy and ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs being highly rated. The pitch should play into his hands, making him a good addition to your fantasy team.
