Pitch Report

A competitive track beckons at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground with ample help on offer for the bowlers. The batsmen will have to bide their time in the middle before going big. While the pacers should get some swing early on, the spinners will play a major part in the middle overs. Wickets in hand will be key towards the backend of the innings, with 240-250 being a decent total at the venue.

Today’s NEP vs USA Dream11 Match Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Jaskaran Malhotra: Jaskaran Malhotra has been the talk of the town on the international circuit with the USA 'keeper hitting six sixes in an over earlier in the month. Given his form and ability to play the big shots, Malhotra is bound to be a popular addition to the NEP vs USA Dream11 fantasy teams.

Batsman

Gyanendra Malla: Gyanendra Malla is Nepal's best bet with the bat, given his experience and ability against both pace and spin. With a fair idea of the conditions as well, Malla is a must-have in your NEP vs USA Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Steven Taylor: Star all-rounder Steven Taylor has been a consistent performer for USA with his explosive batting coming to the fore on a few occasions this year. His bowling ability only adds more value to his case as a good addition to your fantasy team.

Bowler

Sandeep Lamichhane: Sandeep Lamichhane was in sublime form in the series against Papua New Guinea, picking up several wickets in the middle overs. His leg-spin should pose a big problem for the USA batters and Lamichhane should ideally pick up a few wickets today as well.
