Team Analysis:
Netherlands:
Scot Edwards - led side lost their first warm-up match against Scotland by 18 runs after failing to chase the target of 152. Although, top-order batted brilliantly on the day, middle-order put in a disappointing show for the side. Netherlands will heavily rely on Tom Coopera who will bring lot of experience of playing in the Australian conditions. The 22-year-old Bas de Leede is a prolific allrounder in the squad who should be included in the fantasy squad. In just 20 T20I innings, Leede has 517-runs under his belt with unbeaten 91 being his highest score. Meanwhile, he has also picked 14-wickets in 15 innings he bowled.
United Arab of Emirates:
Muhammad Waseem is UAE's mainstay batter, and the side would expect lot from the batter. The 28-year-old right-handed batter has an incredible average of 40.62 as he has scored 650-runs in 17 innings. Waseem's strike rate of 152.58 speaks volumes of his talent and should be one of the reasons why batter must be included in the fantasy team. 29-year-old Junaid Siddique can be an X-factor for UAE as he has been superb with the new ball.
