Today’s USA vs PNG top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tony Ura: Tony Ura didn’t get going in the previous game as he fell cheaply in the powerplay overs. However, Ura is one of PNG’s best bets with the bat and should be one to watch out for in this game.
Batsman
Monank Patel: Monank Patel had a good outing in the previous game, but he couldn’t convert his start. With a hang of the conditions, Patel should ideally get a big score today.
All-rounder
Assad Vala: Assad Vala came up with a gritty fifty in the previous game despite the USA picking up wickets in regular intervals in the middle overs. With his bowling ability also coming into the mix, Vala is surely a must-have in your USA vs PNG Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Saurabh Netravalkar: USA captain Saurabh Netravalkar has been a consistent performer with the ball over the last few years. He did pick up a few key wickets in the previous game as well, making him a handy addition to your USA vs PNG Dream11 fantasy team for today’s fixture.
