Form Concerns
In the only four T20Is Vikramjit Singh has played in his career, he has scores of 15, 1, 3, and 10.
In 2022, Tom Cooper has been dismissed for a single-digit score on 5 out of 8 occasions.
Game Changers
Although Bas de Leede could add only 14 with the bat against Sri Lanka, his 3-wicket haul helped him ease into the Ultimate Team on My11Circle.
Scott Edwards has the ammunition to provide bonus points for his clean striking. He has registered scores of 26*, 7, 20, 26*, and 16* in his last 5 T20Is.
Smart Picks
Ben Shikongo turned out to be a dark horse in fantasy leagues in the game against Sri Lanka. Besides adding 20 points for 2 wickets, he generated 4 vital points for bowling a maiden over.
If not with the bat, Roelof van der Merwe does the job with the ball. He is also the best fielder in the Netherlands team.
Stephan Baard’s role is to accelerate the scoring in the powerplay. He has collected 120 runs, including a half-century in his last 5 T20Is.
Power Players
44 runs with the bat, followed by a two-for, earned Jan Frylinck the Player of the Match award against Sri Lanka. His 50 points were the most in the match.
Lately, Fred Klassen has been consistently providing Netherlands with regular wickets. He has bagged 10 wickets, including the best figures of 5 for 19 in his last 5 T20Is.
David Wiese might not convert his promising starts into big scores, he remains the No.1 strike bowler for Namibia. He has taken 7 wickets in his last 3 competitive T20 games.
Fantasy Tip of The Day
For Namibia, there are quite a few utility cricketers who are capable of producing the goods with both bat and ball. Drafting them in your fantasy teams is likely to keep you in the hunt.
