Pitch Report
Captains
Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | bowl- 7.5
The left-arm pacer has been the best bowler so far during the T20 WC with 9 wickets from 2 matches which also includes a fifer against Uganda.
Alei Nao PNG | bowl- 8.5
The 30-year-old right arm pacer was the best bowler for PNG in the match against Uganda where he picked two wickets and also was economical in his 4 overs.
Top
Afghanistan wicket-keeper and opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been amongst the runs with two back to back fifties and has been one of the players to watch out for.
Norman Vanua PNG | ALL- 8.5
PNG pacer Norman Vanua has been impressing everyone with his wicket-taking abilities and his steady line and length which troubles many batters.
Budget
Rashid Khan AFG | bowl- 9
Afghan skipper Rashid Khan was at his best against the Kiwis picking 4/17 to help his side win by a huge margin. The right-arm spinner is slowly coming to his best form which will worry many teams.
Hiri Hiri PNG | bat- 6.5
Hiri was the best batter for PNG on a rather miserable day with the bat. The likes of Tony Ura and Assad Vala’s inability to get going has meant that PNG have struggled to put a good score on the board.
