TEAMS PREVIEW

Canada Preview

Saad Bin Zafar's side has done everything right in the tournament and lost just once. It was a strong comeback from the team in the last game as they defeated Oman by 3 wickets. As they take on the same side in the final, Bin Zafar would like his side to ride this momentum. They should play their natural game, as their batsmen have been in excellent form.  

Aaron Johnson is destroying bowling attacks, and he would look to score runs at the top with Matthew Spoors. Srimantha Wijeratne needs to show more consistency in the middle order and add runs with Pargat Singh and Harsh Thaker. Ravinderpal Singh, Bin Zafar, and Dillon Heyliger make it a strong batting line-up.  

Their bowlers have been expensive in most games, and the side would expect a good start from Kaleem Sana and Ammar Khalid. Dillon Heyliger has bowled tight lines and would need support from Thaker and Bin Zafar in the middle overs. Nikhil Dutta and Pargat Singh add depth to this attack. 

Canada Predicted Playing XI:

Saad Bin Zafar (c), Aaron Johnson, Srimantha Wijeratne (wk), Matthew Spoors, Pargat Singh, Harsh Thaker, Ravinderpal Singh, Dillon Heyliger, Ammar Khalid, Nikhil Dutta, Kaleem Sana

Oman Preview

Zeeshan Maqsood's side lost the last game from a position of strength, and this would hurt the side. Their bowlers failed to use the good start and allowed the Canadian lower order to take the game away. The side can't afford the same mistakes, and Maqsood would like a spirited show as they take on an opponent in good form.  

Jatinder Singh and Kashyap Prajapati haven’t been consistent in the last few games, and they must do well. Maqsood needs to anchor this middle order and add runs with Shoaib Khan and Mohammad Nadeem. The side would also expect runs from Rafiullah M, Suraj Kumar and Sandeep Goud.  

The bowling attack faces a tough challenge in this contest, and the side would need a good show from Bilal Khan and Kaleemullah with the new ball. Rafiullah M and Samay Shrivastava have leaked runs, and they need to bowl better lines. Goud, Mohammad Nadeem, and Maqsood need to do well in the supporting role for the side to win.  

Oman Predicted Playing XI:

Zeeshan Maqsood (c), Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Shoaib Khan, Mohammad Nadeem, Rafiullah, Sandeep Goud, Suraj Kumar (wk), Kaleemullah, Samay Shrivastava, Bilal Khan

Venue Details

Al Amerat Cricket Ground is a high-scoring venue. The flat surface and the fast outfield allow batsmen to play their strokes easily. There is nothing on this surface for the fast bowlers who must rely on their skills. Spinners have done well at this venue as the ball turns sharply on this track. 

Toss: To Bowl

It will be a high-pressure game, and both sides shall look to play it safe. Most teams have won chasing the score at this venue, as the flat surface makes it tough to set up a total. The side winning the toss would have little hesitation in opting to bowl first.
