KHP vs NOR Dream11 Team Prediction : Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Vs Northern Pakistan Pakistan T20 Cup 2019 Match

KHP vs NOR Dream11 : Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stand in threat of being rendered obsolete from the tournamnet with another defeat today 

Having lost two out of the three matches they have contested till now in the tournamnet, for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, today’s clash comes bearing with it the identity of a must win encounter. A defeat today would see them crashing into the trenches of the points tally, a result the side can’t afford to be on the end of.

The second clash of the day in the tournamnet sees them clashing heads with a Northern Pakistan side which is on the up rise after winning their fixture yesterday. They began by winning their opener by 5 wickets before Central Punjab ended up ripping their bowling unit na throwing it out of the window as they chased down the 224 run target set infront of them with 4 wickets to spare.

However with a 66 run win over Sindh in their match on Thursday as they bundled out the opposition for just 125 in pursuit of 191, the side ended up finding itself back in relevance to makke it two wins out of three and move to second place in the points tally. With a win today seeing them further up their chances of emerging in first place, the side will be looking to partake in a display which reciprocates yesterday’s showing against a side which has offered little in the way of a challenge till now.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the other hand have failed to win a  single encounter after their tournamnet opener over Balochistan with the 6 run defeat to Sindh being the most recent defeat for them. They faltered in their run chase despite being in a strong position at one stage, falling short by the barest of margins in the end as they failed to get behind the requisite 166.

Pitch Conditions And Toss

The surface will be a good one to bat on but being the second clash of the day to be contested today, the surface will start waning off and unravelling as the match runs down its set of events. This will lead the side winning the toss choose to bat first and put on anything in excess of 170 which should be an extremely tricky target to peel off.

KHP vs NOR Dream11 Wicket-Keeper

With 146 runs in three matches, Mohamad Rizwan from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa comes into our side for this encounter. The side will be needing their batting order to showcase its mettle today and maul a bowling unit vulnerable to being taken apart and the wicket-keeper is someone who can do just that. 

KHP vs NOR Dream11 Batsmen

With 71 runs in two matches, Khushdil Shah becomes our only pick from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa whilst from Northern Pakistan we have decided to bring in the two batsmen. The side have scored in excess of 400 runs in between their previous two encounters, a batting unit which looks extremely formidable and menacing and given the kind of track we should be doled out today, another high score from them looks extremely likely.

Their top scorer with 137 runs in 2 matches, Asif Ali is the first pick from the side along with Umar Amin who has 88 in 2 matches including a 50 in the first match.

KHP vs NOR Dream11 All-Rounders

We have only the one player come in from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Mohammad Mohsin being our pick for this docket. He’s the side’s leading wicket taker with 8 wickets in 3 matches and will yet again hold an integral role for his side if they are to have any chance of snapping out of their losing spree.

From the other side meanwhile we have gone in with the three picks, making Mohammad Nawaz our first pick  from the side along with Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim with Imad having taken 3 wickets and scored the 29 runs for his side in their first two matches. 

KHP vs NOR Dream11 Bowling Order

His four wickets, left hand brand of pace bowling and role with the new ball make Usman Khan-Shinwari our choice form Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while the opposing side continues to dominate for the third time in succession. Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf are brought in by us for today’s clash, both bowlers who operate in the death overs, a period of the match when wickets will tumble.

Captain And Vice-Captain

Asif is going to be our captain for this clash whilst Imad is being made the vice-captain.
