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.

Netherlands:

Max ODowd, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Roelof van der Merwe, Tim Pringle, Logan van Beek, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren
