Team Analysis:
Namibia:
All-round performances from Jan Frylinck and JJ Smith powered Namibia in their last clash against Sri Lanka. Both the bowling all-rounders stepped up when the team needed them most and guided their side to a comprehensive victory. Frylinck and Smith will be two mandatory picks in the fantasy squad.
Top-order batter Michael van Lingen has been impressive for the side and the team will rely on him in future games. Loftie-Eaton and Stephan Baard are two decent options to strengthen the middle order. David Wiese, Ben Shikongo and Bernard Scholtz are three good options while making a Fantasy XI.
Netherlands:
Bas de Leede and Fred Klaassen were terrific in the game against the United Arab Emirates on October 16 (Sunday). 23-year-old Paul van Meekeren is also a good option as he was quite economical against UAE. Tom Cooper, Max O'Dowd and Vikramjeet are experienced players who can be considered while forming a fantasy team.
