NED XI – Michael Levitt, Max O’Dowd, Vikram Singh, Base de Leede, SA Engelbrecht, Scott Edwards, Tim Pringle, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Vivian Kingma
Pitch Report –
– Same ground where USA chased 190+ in the first match. Should be a high scoring at least if Netherlands bat first.
– Not much other info to add here, but most of the players batted with 150+ SR in that match. Indicates it was not a one player wonder and it’s easy to score
Default Picks (6) –
1) Asif Sheikh (Don’t want to pick him, but Scott Edward bats too low to pick him)
1) S Edwards (Drop If Ned chase. Pick only if Ned bats first and that too if Vikram is not playing)
(Skip Asif, if you went with Edwards)
2) M Dowd (Main batter. Captain in First Inning for one sided points)
3) De Leede (Default Cap. No explanation needed)
4) D Singh Airee (Nepal’s Main Alr. Bats middle order + Bowls 2-3ov)
5)Van Beek (Default VC. Main Wkt Taker)
6) Meekeren (Took consistent wkts against good teams, might do even better against Nepal
Must Punt Picks –
1) M Levitt (24%. Destructive Opener + Allrounder. Legit good pick for even C/VC)
– Not only Levitt is a must pick today, he can even be paired with Deleede as C or VC. Scored 50 against SL in Warmup + scored consistently against good teams
– Only problem is S Dhakal bowling against him
2) T Pringle (10%. Left arm spin. Wkt taker)
– Plays in NZ Domestic circuit. Can dismantle Nepal batting if he gets going. Must pick
3) A Dutt (27%. Off spinner)
– Took 5W in last 3M against Nepal. Also did extremely well in ODI WC. Cannot skip him against Nepal.
Other Punt Picks –
1) S Dhakal (1%. Left Arm Spin. Powerplay bowling)
– Nedis known to struggle against spin. He bowled good against WI-A series against Star batters like J Charles and R Chase. Took a 3fer and a 2fer against them. High risk and High reward pick
2) V Kingma (22%. Right Arm Fast)
– Took a 3fer against Nepal and 4fer against Scotland. If he plays, can be a good addition to your team
3) K Karan (23%. Not sure why is he selected so low)
– Proly their most experienced player. Pick him instead of Bohara. Will bowl 4 overs + cam score with bat
4) V Singh (13%. Scored 50 against Nepal. One down)- On this pitch, against Nepal and if they bat first and if he plays, can give decent points to cover for any of your drop punt. Must pick today if he plays.
