HK vs NIG Dream 11 Hong Kong vs Nigeria Dream 11 Team Combination Wicket-keepers- Scott McKechnie Batsmen- Nizakat Khan, Joseph Adedeji, Chimezie Onwuzulike, All-rounders- Kinchit Shah, Aizaz Khan, Isaac Okpe Bowlers- Ehsan Khan, Chima Akachukwu, Nasrulla Rana, Vincent Adewoye Captain Options: Kinchit Shah- He has been a pretty consistent performer for Hong Kong and has contributed in all three departments in the tournament. He scored a brilliant 79 against Ireland and scored a fluent 59 in the previous match against Canada. With the ball, he has also bagged 3 wickets and has bowled with a good economy rate. Ehsan Khan- It could be a risky option but it might be worth the risk especially against opposition against an opposition like Nigeria. He has bagged only 3 wickets in the tournament but hasn’t been at his best in the recent matches. However, a leg spinner can prove to be the lynchpin for Hong Kong in a match against a side who has lost all their matches.
